car doesnt start or prime now?

- Fri Jun 04, 2010 9:56 pm #198692 my hatch used to run and when i turned it on today all of a sudden it died immideately now the fuel pump doesnt prime and it wont start at all now?

grounds and everything are good cel light is
10IAT - intake air temperature sensor and 21 VTEC spool solenoid valve.

the car used to start and still have these same codes vtec isnt an issue but would the IAT not let the car start? or could i have a bad relay now if so what would of caused to go out?

- Fri Jun 04, 2010 11:49 pm #198703 The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor resistance changes in response to the intake air temperature. The sensor resistance decreases as the surrounding air temperature increases. This provides a signal to the ECU, indicating the temperature of the incoming air charge.

Now what can happen when ur IAT is faulty is..

****Extended crank time when the engine is cold ******
Poor fuel economy
Spark knock .


New IAT is around 20 bucks at honda..
