First crank

First crank
First powerup no start

Well after a fun day of the UDHEV team pasting the rest of the parts to the stand, and sorting more connectors, we gave it a crank.
The gas tank and evap are on a separate dolly for safety purposes. The waterpump and radiator are not finished, but a short run would be a nice payback for all the work, so we gave it a try, knowing full well that the lack of a chip key was going to make the task unlikely.
Honda did their homework, and we found that the immobilizer cuts off the fuel pump, injectors, and spark, making it impossible to even get a putt out of it. The chip key and programming will involve bringing it to our nearest honds dealor and paying a whopping $140 to get it programmed. sounds like a rip off to me, but we have few other options. The IMA pack was sitting at 156V. The 2001 car only had 46K on the odometer.

Thanks Hobbit,G, and Swede for your help.
