i also had an odyssey battery that died on me, bought a stock one that would fit in the engine bay and i haven't had issues as of lately.

don't give up!

not the picture i was looking for, but it is too dark out for me to take a picture to show you. you have the bolt for the ground and the male pin for the power. the female connector is what possibly could be loose or not making a good connection, if it is on there and you have a butt connector, that could be your issue to. my butt connector was not crimped down good enough and it pulled right off.

I am not sure the correct name of it either. haha. You don't sound stupid. Had I not done this swap and had some issues, I would not have been able to help. ;-)

I am a Honda guy myself. 2002 Civic Hatch with Greddy kit and I am nearly done building another motor (K20a2)

What plugs did you buy? I was told to buy the 300zx Turbo spark plugs.

Crank Sensor?

My Honda's Crank Angle and Cam Sensor went out and the car wouldn't do crap...wish you had a video or if i was close enough i could look at it at least...lol
