Just got the Integra,

It passed BC inspection and had the timing belt, water pump and other belts replaced.

1st Problem
Drove it yestereday for the first time, and noticed a ticking sound from the engine. I thought it was a piston or plunger but it was intermitent no patter to the sound.
what could it be?

2nd Problem
Today when i drove around town and started and stopped the car a couple of times it wouldn't start.
it sounded like it wasn't getting a spark to fire.
i gave it some gas but that didn't do anything (i didn't flood it)
i popped the hood and asked my wife to try starting it again and Bingo it fired up.
5min later we stopped at the food store and same exact thing.
if i leave it sit it for a while it starts up no problem.
(my wifes old 89 accord did the same thing in hot weather, so we put it down LOL)

3rd Problem
it has a command starter in it and when i shut the car off it stays running till you tap the brake or hit lock on the key fob is that ussuall??


Thanks for the help/ideas

 

underdash relay my old accord did it every summer. 80 bucks from honda.

 

Main Fuel Relay or ignition switch

 

for problem number one, it could use a valve adjustment very soon. Take it to a shop so they can adjust it.

 

Thanks guys

KevLo, the mechanic did the valve adjustment. he said a few were out.

and

rare_db2, the mechanic also replaced the relay. he said that we won't know for sure if that will fix it but it narrows it down.

thanks all
