I am stripping the car for racing. I took the gauge cluster out removed the dash put the cluster back in and now it won't start. the dash lights up but will not roll over. I didnt cut any wires in the dash but I have removed everything else in the car its just an engine and shell now. what am I missing cant figure it out.
Are you sure there isn't a relay still in the dash, Honda has quite a few relays in the dash, are you sure you didn't miss one , go back and take a good look at the dash for relays, good luck.

bring the car to a parts store and have them test the battery and charging system for you, places like auto zone will do this for free, you need to confirm these are good before going any further good luck and please rate -Jeff

Check and make sure your coolant level is up. If it's up, your idle air control valve is faulty or your cold start solenoid isn't working anymore. Both are activated by the engine water temp.

2 things come to mind.. Fuel pressure regulator.. and Leaking injectors..
SOURCE: 1995 Honda Civic fuel gauge stuck onfull.
the fuel level sensor in the gas tank needs to be replaced easy way is a new fuel pump assembly

Well, theres a sending unit/float in the tank that sends a signal thru
wires to your instrument cluster's fuel gauge. You should have an auto
electric repairperson determine where your problem lies. It's not often
the needle's just 'stuck' to where you could dislodge it. More often,
it's pegged overfull or underempty-signaling a shorted component
upstream of the gauge.
Similar problem and found the solution:
In the back of the gauge, where the 2 coils are located, there are very
tiny copper wires which connect all the resistors/diodes. they each
travel from within the coil and are soldered to 3 out of the 4 mounting
pins. if any of these wires are shorting out or disconnected, the gauge
will malfunction.
- take the gauge and flip upside down
- temp gauge has 1 resistor (blue) and 1 diode (copper)
- fuel gauge has 2 resistors, no diodes
- 1 wire should be attached to bottom mounting pin (letter E for EMPTY)
- 1 wire should be attached to pin holding both resistors (half tank)
- 1 wire should be attached to the stand-alone ground pin (no mounting bracket)
Hope that helps!
