very simple, insert key in the ignition. Then insert a small phillips head screw driver in the middle hole underneath the steering column.You should feel the screwdriver head hit a hole.Maintain pressure on the screwdriver. Turn the key to the on postion(without starting the vehicle).You should be able to pull the igntion switch out with the key.
First lock all the doors. then enter the drivers door with the key, turn on the igntion, don't try to start it, leave it on for ten minutes, turn it iff for five seconds , try to start.
Put a fuel pressure tester on fuel rail port,should be around 50 PSI,no pressure, sounds like your fuel pump in the tank is stuck, you should here a buzz for 2-3 seconds when the key/igntion is turn to on, no buzz , smack the bottom of tank while someone cranks the engine over to lossen the motor in the pump, if this fails, you need to replace the pump. GOOD LUCK. RDJRP.
I'm assuming the engine is cranking over while turning the key and wont start. from this assumsion it possible the cam sensor on the timing chain is broken. or no fuel pressure. to test for fuel pressure, turn the igntion key on, locate the fuel line & port on the fuel line, remove the cap & depress the small screader valve by using a small pocket screwdriver, fuel should shoot out with a lot of pressure. no fuel shooting out most likey the fuel pump is bad. if this has good pressure the cam sensor is most likey the cause. to replace the sensor, you need to replace the timing chain.
I just did my nieces hondas ignition switch. If I held the key on in start mode the engine ran. When I released the key, to be on the run mode it died. Is this what yours does? If so call the auto parts store to make sure they have it. Its the switch the key contacts when you turn the key.I took 3 or 4 screws out to split the plastic thing that covers the switch.It has 2 kind of tricky screws holding it in and a wire pluged in it with like 6 or so wires on the plug. It was even a little tricky to get out after I disconnected it. Be patient.
I hope this helps you.
It's possible the "anti-thielf" system has been failing and went out while you was driving. If the ignition key has a chip in the shaft of the key your car has anti-thieft. It's possible the system doesn't reconisethe igntion key and shut the system down. Try using another igntion key if it came with 2 keys. If the engine started you'll need to get the other igntion key replace.
