    '97 Civic cranks but won't start
    Hi,

    The immobilizer icon blinked a couple of times while I was driving (had been raining for two days) and then the check engine light came on. After that the car cranks but won't start. I changed the spark plugs, battery and fuel filter, but those didn't help.

    Next the car was towed to a repair shop and a mechanic has spent hours trying to solve the problem. He gets the car to start with some other way, but not with a key. There is a spark, the fuel pump and relay should be working. Now for some reason alternator sp sensor fuse is blowing all the time.

    Does anyone have any ideas?
