How common are problems with the fuel relay? My car has been having problems starting when it's cold or raining and I let the car sit for a few days. I have more than one car so I don't drive the GSR often.

If it doesn't start I just unplug the batt for a min and it's fine when everything is hooked up. I thought it was the main relay so I replaced that last year and the problem came back. Like I said it's ONLY during the fall/winter months this happens and my last guess is the fuel relay.

It's cranks but doesn't start.

Usually a problem with the main relay happens when it's hot out, becaue of the bad sauder, and usually it happens alot more on 2nd gen integras then 3rds. If ur car is having trouble starting when it's cold u might wanna look somewhere else. First, Is the engine cranking over fine, like it wants to start but just isn't starting, or does it crank over slow, which could be the sign of a bad battery or bad grounds. 2nd, any cels?

 

cranks fine, not cells. Never a problem in spring/summer.

 

When you replaced your MFR, was it new from the dealer or another used one?

 

I actually got fed up and had someone bring it to the dealership. Of course I ended up letting the car sit for 2 weeks before I did this so the battery was drained. They jumped the battery and the car fired right up but I had them replace the main relay just in case and got the old one back.
