How could it be a b16a2 swap? An ek4 comes with this engine standard! What is happening when you go to start car? Is it turning over or is it just completely dead?

not to sure as im only new to hondas, its

when i go to start it theres nothing, but i can start it on a push but thats it.
 
Have you tried another battery or jump start just incase your alternators gone? Does it attempt to turn over at all? I'm not the best at this stuff but you need to be a bit more precise as to how far along the starting sequence it's getting (if at all) for people to help. I.e lights on the dash, fuel pump priming etc,
 
sounds like a bad earth or bad battery.

should be atleast 3 earths if i remember correctly make sure they are all bolted on.


Push start the car and then take it one of these tyre fitter places like quick fit as they do free battery tests and can tell you if your battery is faulty.
 
imo this is a faulty immobiliser
try turning the key like 10-15 times no pause between turns
 
is the engine turning over atall ? and if you can bump start the car it could be

the main engine harness earth at the thermostat housing!

or the starter signal wire that goes on the the solenoid use a test light to check for power at the signal wire when trying to crank the engine!

unlikely to be immobiliser if you can bump start the car ! as imobiliser cuts fuel and wouldn't allow the car to start atall
