Possible Strange Electric Problem?

I've been having the same problem as others in this forum where the Fit is dying the first time it is started. I read that this can be fixed with a possible valve adjustment. After one of these episodes where the car drops down below 1000 rpms and dies, i left ignition on. When I went to try and start it again this happened:


Is it a blown fuse or something? It wont turn over or anything, just this clicking. Has anyone seen this or Can anyone help?

Your charging fuse on the positive terminal will be the first thing to check (the battery idiot light as well as check engine light should be on when turning key on) I see only oil pressure light which means the charging circuit and ECU are not energized; this may also cause battery to discharge (no cranking)

Doctor J,

Thank you, a ton for responding. I will give this a try and see if there are any results.

Not sure this is the problem, but according to a quick google search, the green flashing key symbol is the vehicle not recognizing the immobilizer chip in your key.

Recommendations online vary from removing the key from a ring of keys and trying using it separately. To obviously replacing the battery in the fob.
