hey, ive been reading and responding to posts for a lil bit, but now i have a question of my own. i have a 4th gen ('90) accord bone stock with about 80k miles on it. just recently, i have had a hard time starting the car when its warm. when i turn the key it just clicks, doesnt even try to turn over. then after about 5 or so trys, it starts just fine. its not the battery, starter, or alternator. ive been told that its possibly a faulty main relay causing the problem when the car is warm. anyone know anything about this? thanks a lot.
-jon-

p.s. on an unrelated note, another question that i just thought of. same car. neither of the cooling fans turn on unless the A/C is running. i hate A/C and i much prefer windows, but when the car is warm and i stop at a light, the cooling fans dont turn on as they normally would under such conditions and my temp gauge rises slighty (from 1/2 to closer to 3/4). however, when i turn on the A/C, the temp. drops immediately into normal range. any input/ideas/info/suggestions? thanks again. peace.

 

main relay, i have the same problem, go 10 miles at 2,500rpms. stock for 5 mins, turn it back on again and dies until it cools. get a NEW main relay, not used. its faulty like mine which i have to change. eventually it wont start up anymore if not changed.

 

he is completely right, some main relay does not work right when the car has been sitting in the hot sun.
