If you have a 5 speed it could be the clutch start switch which is located at the top of the clutch foot lever. The wires are big, remove the plug jump the wires and try to start it

MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL!!.

If that doesn't work-- Replace the ignition switch. They are a high failure rate.

Good luck Losone

I had the same problem in my crx and it was the relay that is above the hood opening lever, it was a pricey relay. :wink:
