I have a problem with my LX model. I shut my car off at a gas station and I went inside the store and came back out and my car would not start. The green key on the cluster display is no longer showing and it will turn over but still no start. Any suggestions would very well be appreciated.

It sounds like the immobilizer unit has failed. That is a dealer repair. However, here is the procedure and a picture of the immobilizer if you want to try it yourself.

Remove the dashboard lower cover.
Remove the steering column covers.
Disconnect the 7P connector (A) from the immobilizer control unit-receiver (B).
Remove the two screws and the immobilizer control unit-receiver from the ignition key cylinder (c).
Install the immobilizer control unit-receiver in the reverse order of removal.
After replacement, rewrite the unit with a Honda PGM Tester, then check the immobilizer system.
