Ok, my brother got a 93 LX Sedan back in August, Car itself had 326k on it, and somone put a D15 with lower miles in it. First week he had it, It was fine, second week It wouldnt start one morning, It would crank and crank but wouldnt fire, We figured fuel problem, Next day it started and ran fine, He went off the school and came back for Christmas and drove it for 2 weeks no problem. 2 days ago it did the same thing He spent 2 hours trying to get it going, It has fuel pres. at the filter, and fuel at the rail (not sure how much pressure) and has good spark. And it would NOT fire at all. SO I had to give him an hour ride home and let him drive my Civic. Next morning, His car starts up perfect, Runs no problem, Drove it almost 300 miles yesterday. I gave him my old DX ECU To see if thats the problem. Anyone have any other ideas?

main relay probably. most EG's are having that problem. must be age... usually like 150k to 200k miles that i've noticed. the symptom usually is when the car is cool it will start. when it heats up, it won't start and/or will die out. turn the key on, if there is no humming to match the check engine light, that's your problem. if you get stuck, try playing around with the relay, kick it around slap it a few times, the car might start, limp home, change it out then you'll be $$$

Well it was cool out the other morning, And it wouldnt start. Nothing moved, next morning, started up fine. And when it did it before it was August, hot and humid

right on... i didn't say fuel filter because i assumed after 326k that would have been changed a few times already...
