Randomly won't start
Other than my high idle problem, every now an then I will turn off car and when I try to restart it sometimes just minutes later it just cranks over like not getting fuel. I usually wit 5-10 minutes then it starts, this is very annoying. What could be causing this.

Re: Randomly won't start
I was having this same prblem for a few months now so I replaced the main relay and it did not fix the problem. I took it to a mechanic and was told I needed a new feul pump and would cost $300 bux! well i dont have that kind of money so i decided to continue driving it this way when low and behold i get stuck at the gas station the other day and sat there for 2 hours trying over and over to get it started...Finnally a really nice old man came up to me and said he owned a mechanic shop in town and he would try to help me (for free). he got his test light out jumbled around under the hood for a bit, took my back seat out, was in the trunk for a few minutes and finnally he had found the problem....ready? It was a stinking relay switch! I guess it is a safety switch for the fuel to cut off in the case of a rear collision. For about $30 I replaced the switch (Denso056700-9410) Honda part# 39797-SH2-003 and i havnt had a problem starting since happy girl Hope this helps!
