hey ok , well if you removed the wires and put wrong itsomtimes still will start it will but it will run a shiity ,like it is misefiring and and it sound like it want to turn off and after a will it will.so i now for a fact that ,thats not the problem,do this first check your light turn them on and if you see no light turn on then the battery might be dead ,.but if u do see a light and its very bright then ok .bright as if u were normally driving.ok then next thing i would check is check all the fuses in the car and in the ingiane make sure there not blowen.on a honda lets see i think its under the steriing wheel .or ondeer passenger side were u put your feet.and the ones in engine there should be a box.that says fuse open it and check fuses.then if that doest solve it chec your egnistion swich.by now a mechanic should look at it. but to me a 1998 honda shoulnt give that kind of a problem check your battery if light dont come buy new battery and youll be ready to i almost now tha your problem.
