so i wuz goin to the junkyard on my day off but when i went my car i noticed the door wuz open...

when i turn the key nothing happens none of the lights go on
the hazard lights works but thats it
i checked all the fuses under dash and under hood

all they took wuz all the tools that were in my car and my rear strut bar

any advice would be aprecciated

 

Are the ignition wires under the steering column cut?

 

Does it have gas? they could've jacked yur fuel...

 

^^ i dont think having an empty gas tank makes your lights not work tho.


Yeah check Under the stering colummn for cut wires?
how did you check your fuses?

 

alright so yeah i checked again and it wuz a cut wire and a burnt fuse...

but i think something got messed up
cuz out of no where the car redlines a lil above 3500 and the engine light comes on
if i turn off and turn on again it goes away somethimes

 

Check the code. On OBD0 it is read by observing the blinking LED on the ECU itself.

 

the check engine comes on after awhile
but my ecu dosent blink it a p28 and previous owner said it wuz chipped
iz there another way i can see what the chek engine light means

 

I think most chips still work like stock OBD1 where you read codes with the jumper and watch the CEL method.

 

im sorry man i dont mean to sound ignorant but idk watch u mean..
only thing i can say is that the ecu has no bulb on it
but wat u mean "the jumper"

 

On an OBD1 Civic, there is no light on the ECU. There is a two wire test plug attached to the harness above the ECU. Normally the plug is not connected to anything. Using a piece of wire to jumper the two pins of the plug and turning the key on sets the ECU into test mode. The trouble codes will then appear as a series of blinks of the check engine light on the dash. See the link in RonJ's signature for more details.
