Default Main relay problems in 1990 DA?

Theres a little of a story behind this problem. At first i thought my main relay was going bad. The car only started when it wanted to and it was very random when it would.

My car drove nice one day and i went to eat at wendys, came outside to leave and it did not start. Main relay doesnt click and car wont turn over. My buddy just bought a relay for his 90 civic hatch brand new. Works perfect for him. Put it in my car and it still would not turn over. Put my orignial relay back in.

Left my car in the wendys parking lot for a night, came back the next day and it started. So i put a brand new relay in and it still only starts like once a few days lol. Anyone have any advice?

When you say the car won't turn over, do you mean that the starter isn't engaging. When you turn the key you get nothing? Alot of people say their car isn't turning over, but in reality, it is, because the starter is turning it over, its just not starting and running on its own power.

If the starter isn't doing anything when you turn the key, check your battery and starter connections to see if any are loose. Then maybe check your clutch interlock switch and then your starter solenoid.

If the starter is engaging, check for spark and fuel to see which direction to go.
