98 Accord v6 NO green key icon, cranks but wont start.
1998 Honda Accord V6 Coupe, no remote start, no alarms.
Here is some history.
Had intermittent failure to start during high temperatures days. >80 degrees. Engine cranks with not issue, dash dummy lights are illuminated. Here is what I noticed during the failure. NO Green Key Icon on dash console. If I get the green light it will start.
Currently – will not start at all and cannot get the green key indicator to flash or display. Even turning the key off.
Strangely I do random walk byes (cool off from internet suggestions.) try to start it and it would. Immediately turn the ignition off, it fails to start.
What I tried:
Original and extra key. (works when it wants too)
Checked fuses. (Visually appear ok, otherwise I wouldn’t get random starts)
Opened the main relay under the dash to investigate the circuit board for evidence of shorts or dark spots. (Nothing to report)
Currently have the steering column cover off to check Immobilizer connections plugs for looseness. (No change)
Uncle!
Any constructive advice welcome.

If the non-start is always together with the no-green-key-lamp, that really sounds like the immobilizer system.
Do you have other car keys on the same chain? I don't know whether it can be a problem having too many RFID chips close to that antenna unit, but it's very easy to test by keeping the key separate.
