Doesn’t want to start just every now and then..?
My car is a 1991 Honda CRX. It starts up like a normal car 95% of the time.. but it randomly doesn’t want to start just once every blue moon. It’ll just crank and crank and crank.. then i’ll come back out a little bit later and it’ll start right up like nothing happened. I have replaced the distributor, and have cleaned the carbon build up from the ignition switch.. could this be a bad main fuel relay? That’s just my last guess. Can’t seem to think of anything else. Just wanted to see what you all think before i buy a new relay.

Take the main relay out and look at the solder joints with a magnifying glass. If you see cracks in the solder, that is likely the culprit. They can be resoldered but a new one is cheap.
