My Daughter's1997 Acura Integra continuously tries to start even when the key is not in the ignition. It ran down the battery, I charged the battery and as soon as I touch the negative to the post it tries to turn over

you should ask for help

Just remove it. It shouldn't be too hard, take all the parts and harness out, reconnect any cut wires and wrap any exposed wires with electrical tape.

Possibly a charging problem. Hook a battery tester to it and run it. See if you're getting 14 amps and see what happens when you turn on the AC.

Sorry this vehicle has a chipped key and as such you cannot just hot wire it like something out of the dukes of hazard ,the immobiliser will not allow the vehicle to start

under the left side theirs a lit button or togg switch and put the battery back on a check the lit button with the key in it right b4 start and hold the button down and see if it goes off or check the alarm remote and see if the battery dead

Our '91 Integra can start and perform for a whole week then randomly dies at intersections. Symptoms are dim headlights and stuff like yours. One would think it was alternator or battery right? No. I took battery in to Walmart to their diagnostic station by the paint department. The diagnostic machine refused to charge the battery because it had a full charge. The battery checked out fine.

Do you understand what this means? This means that the alternator has been charging the battery all week that Daughter B has been driving to work-school-home-boyfriend-etc. Yet it died with dead battery symptoms. This is driving me crazy.

So, I removed the battery then put it back in and the car started and the car ran like a scalded cat and I got home. Next morning- Daughter B tries to go to school and car won't start.?! I apply battery charger set to 'Quick start' and started the car. I removed charger and applied my DC voltmeter. Voltage at idle was 12.5V showing alternator is charging. Put finger on throttle cable and rev engine and voltage goes up to 13v but no higher showing that the voltage regulator is working.

What we have is a problem unrelated to the expansion and contraction of heated versus cooled parts. The pretty much rules out bad physical wiring connections. Without more knowledge on this subject I would just have to say the car is demon possessed and that I should buy a new used car with different problems eh?

SOUNDS LIKE STARTER CABLES ARE IN NEED OF CLEAN AND TIGHTEN AND SOLENOID STICKING. NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS GIVE THE SOLENOID A FEW TAPS WITH A HAMMER IF POSS AND TRY AGAIN

try to put your car in neutral with your parking brakes on, rev on the gas and start the car at the same time. if that doesn't work, your ignition coils may need to be replace.

If the pump blew the fuses then the pump or the wiring to it inside the gas tank is shorted.
