Default 1990 CRX Problem!!

it only happens every once and a while but i try to start it up and it just cranks over but never fires. i dont know if it is the humidity or what but what could be the problem. i heard it could be the main ignition relay but i wanna see what you all think!!!

main relay. you can resolder all the joints on the board. they crack and lose contact more often when its warmer temperatures

Yes, but i cant think of it offhand.

Look in the shop manual, it tells you how. Youll need a multimeter.

Yeah I have had 3 Hondas they all do it, turn the key, gets lights on the dash, but nothing. I usually disconnect my ground (battery) for 5 secs, then put it back on and the car starts right up.
