sounds kinda like an intermittant ignitor problem. Is is when she starts the car from cold or after it had been running a while?

 

they are probally talking about the main relay when its hot outside it will not start untill u open the door and let the interior cool off.

 

It could be the FPR, if its faulty then she is loosing pressure which means the motor will have a very hard time starting, if she turns it on and off quickly that will prime the pump. Have her turn it on quickly so the pressure is still there if it is infact a faulty FPR. You can buy a used stock FPR for $20 bucks and its a 10min job.

Also try testing the FPR if you want. Hook up a Fuel pressure gauge and see if the pressure is dropping.

 

Try a poor ground on the engine, make sure it's grounding strap is secure.

 

Ok guys. My sister told me when she is parked under the sun.. i guess they car get all hot inside and outside.. then if she try to crack it up.. it will crack but no start. If you are talking about the main relay for $40 under the dash. Can someone please tell me what it would look like (shape or wires connected to it? or color?) A picture would be so much help.. I even hope you up with my sister LOL she is hot

hope this helps!

 

I don't have much experience with hondas, so I wouldn't know. The fpr sounds like a possibility, not much help sorry. You can hook me up with your sister tho.

 

I have a 1990 accord that had the same PRoblem. On main the main relay is located under the dash, above the Crusie control ECU which you will have to remove to get to it, you can't see without removing the Crusie control ECU box. The Main Relay has a redish-brown bottom the rest of the relay is going to gray or black. it has a fairly large 7 or 8 pin connector on it, you can't miss it it is like the biggest realy under the dash
