Yeah,


Im think the battery's cable's or the battery its self is hitting something metal,Causing it to arch and short out. When you get the crx, Give me a call man.

Check all of the battery cable wiring.....meaning....Visually look at the WHOLE cable. Especially in the back where the battery is. Then let us know what you find out.

Sounds to me like he popped the main relay...does the fuel pump prime when he turns the key?

Also just because he has 12v at the starter doesn't mean the amperage is strong enough to fire. WHat gauge wire is it? Should be 0, 2 gauge at minimum
