Stick your head in the driver footwell and look up under the dash. Its a grey rectangular block, looks like a small grey stick of butter about 3" by 1". You should be able to hear it click when you start your car, if it doesn't start tap the relay and see it that gets it to trip. Or if you have a buddy w/ a 4th gen Prelude or a similar year Accord try swapping the main relays and see if it helps. If the car dies while driving it could also be the ignitor. A good shop can test to see if the ignitor is ok in like 30 seconds.
