trouble starting my car

or the flux capacitor? :rolleyes:


no seriously - another vote for main relay, esp. since it is only when car is warm/hot...

This definatly sounds like main fuel relay problem. I had the same problem recently, just resoldered the cracked solder joints and she starts fine everytime now. Like Win said, just borrow a friends one (most Honda's are compatible) and take their's out and replace it with yours and you'll then know for sure.

Its located right near your fuse box and boot release. Its a brown connector. Take it out and if you see some cracks in the solder, then you know that the (or part of the) problem. Check it out, if it has cracks either resolder it or if your not confident enough go buy one from wreckers with all solder joints intact and replace it. Should solve your problem, if it doesn't come back and tell us what happens then :)

I have the same annoying problem too. Thanks for letting us know what to look for...what is the size of the connector? Any other hints in identifying it...does the connector come out completely or will there be wiring attached to it? I think I'll have a go at fixing it myself.

Main relay looks like this

Thanks for that man. I'll give it a go.

Well I think I have fixed it. It's only early days but don't have the problem so far. I tried to add a pic of the underside of the relay (circuit board) but I don't seem to be authorised to do it. I simply put the soldering iron onto each point until the solder melted...I saw no need to add more since there was heaps in the first place.

check the basic....
Spark plug - number? 6 or 7?
Distributor position.
Battery.
TB position.

See how it goes.

is the relay in the same location on eg4

on my relay you couldnt see the cracks in the solder. So you should just make sure u resolder all the board again. Not just a visual check.
