I have a 94 Accord sedan with 135k miles. Recently it started having some trouble starting. When I turn the car over it sometimes won't start, it takes a few tries to start the car. The problem is so intermittent that I can't really replicate it to get a good assumption. I had the battery and alternator tested and they were ok, the fuel pump clicks on so I think the problem isn't there. The only 2 left I can think of are starter and ignitor. I had a 93 Accord that would have trouble starting on very hot days, some sort of a problem with one of the relays.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

 

well the starte and igniter are 2 totally different non starting condition ,,if it wont crank or just clicks it has nothing to do with igniter, it could be starter or battery cables if it turns over fine then chk to see if you are getting spark at plug wires if not could be igniter, coil, the relay you are talking about is the main relay it acts up mostly on hot days but i have seen them act up when cold as well to chk it chk to see if you are getting fuel

 

My guess was that the main relay wasn't the issue. I believe I can't hear the starter solenoid when I try to start it, could that be an indication that the starter needs replaced?

Thanks.

 

main relay or ignition switch
