Hey people... I got a 4th gen prelude and its having a weird problem. Sometimes when I get off work (pretty hot outside), I try to start the car, and it starts, but dies in a couple of seconds. Then I try again, but it wont start. Then, I wait about 5-10 mins and try again and it starts no problem. Sometimes I have a hold down the gas to keep it from dying out. If the car is on for about 20 secs, the car seems to run perfectly fine. Could it be the main relay, since it starts but dies? Tune ups have been done frequently. If its the main relay, where can I buy one? I really appreciate your help.

 

anyone have any idea?

 

this is a common problem, its the main fuel relay under the dash on the drivers side. i just had to replace mine, i dont have the part number on me right now, but there have been a bunch of topics about this lately

 

mine had that problem it was my timing belt it ripet about 16 teeth off it but i have heard about that relay mesing up that mite be the problem

 

would that main relay be the EFI main relay? because Im going to go to Honda tomorrow and get one

 

part number and info
