I have a 97 prelude type-sh. Yesterday my check engine and atts light came and some one suggested that i disconnected the negative on the battery to reset the ecu. To see if the cels would come back. But after i connected it agian the wont start at it. When i put the key in all the lights and radio work but it just doesnt start. it doesnt try to start or make and noise just when i am trying to start it the abs light stays on and then when i turn it off it goes away.Before i disconnected the battery everything was fine. Any idea? thanks everyone

move ur batt. cables around...sometimes there OLD AND RUSTY AND NEED TO BE MOVED AROUND so they touch just RIGHT ;)...tho if that's the CASE and ur car turns on after that...go hit up autozone for new tip cables "not the whole thing just the tip" there like 5 bucks for both...u can also do a "mickey mouse" and srew a nut on the tip of the cable between the batt and the connecter so they touch...if ur batt. is old and has lots of white u can also spray some spirt and it'll go way...;)
