Please HELP! Car doesn't start!
Hello Guys,
I own a new 94 DC4 and I've ran into some trouble today... My car didn't start... I only bought this car for a month and I've never owned a Honda.
The symptoms were:
Car starts 90% of the time but the starter motor and the battery is in good health. However, I turned the ignition today and the engine won't kick over. So I was stranded outside. :( The starter motor just keeps turning and there was one time it started, but it stalled in a few seconds (like the car was running out of fuel)...
Anyway, I had someone look at it on the spot and told me that it could be my fuel pump gone. While he was extensively checking to find out what was wrong, he removed all the fuses under the dash and plugged them back in again. The car started with some shuttering. He said that my fuel relay could be the culprit instead. I've done some search on the forums, and people have stated that this is mainly a 'fuel/main relay'. Is this really an issue? If so, can someone advise me on how to fix it? I got quoted about $190 for the fuel pump and another $80 for labor.
Sorry for the lengthy post, I just want to provide as much detail as I could to get some help.
Thanks
