when i turn the ignition key the starter turns over and starts and as soon as i let go of the key the car dies. if i hold the key in the start position it will keep running. i replaced the main relay and it did not work (waste of $60). the guy up at honda said that it might be the ignition switch. let me know asap b/c im stuck w/o a car.
thanks alot.

You need to make sure your distibutor is getting power while the switch is in the on position. I think it is a Black w/ yellow wire. Use an online Helms or buy one to do a check on it. If it isn't getting 12volts you probably need a switch.
