Is my main relay slowly taking a ****?

Sometimes when I get in to start the car. Ill turn the key to the 2nd click (to let the fuel pump prime) and go to start ...theres a click and everything goes dead. No power to ANYTHING. (lights, car doesnt turn over, alarm doesnt work etc etc).

At first I could just pop the 15A fuse under the hood(For F/I). and hop back in and it woudl fire up.

But today it was being a real bitch. I would pop the fuse in and out and go to try and start it and it would just keeping cutting out. (wouldnt turn over..power woudl just die).

On one attempt I left the key to the 2nd postion ...and eventually the power turned on by itself. hrmm.(i heard the click and the beeps went like normal)

Once started I went out for pizza and it was good to go starting again. Most of the time it starts no probs. Its just this random **** thats having me worried as it is getting more frequent.

Main relay or something else?

Car is 00 Si with 92k miles on it.

I thought it could be my ITR ecu with the immobilizer removed but ive been running it for over a year with no issues .

check the starter solinoid... the lil wire that plugs into the starter

ok, so my car is in the driveway and wont start.

same issues. i was driving earlier today just fine.

anyone have a clue? im leaning towards my alarm now, but still am unsure. anyways to check/disable the alarm to see if that helps. ....

edit: that last question sounds a little suspect. ahahhaa
