Default LS won't start

so my Integra can't start. I already switched
-Main Relay
-Fuel Pump
-Ignitor
-Ignition coil
-Fuel filter.
it sometimes starts when it's cold and when getting a jump start from someone.
but maybe after 10-15 minutes, the fan turns on then
my whole car shuts off. After that. my car won't start.
NEED some help, getting real frustrated by not finding the problem.
any input guys

any CEL?

have you checked the voltage coming from the battery with a multi-meter?

i am assuming you have DC...

i am leaning towards an electrical problem. the ELD, or electronic load detector decides to increase or decrease the idle so the alternator maintains a proper charge on your battery. if you insist the car stalls when the fan kicks on, perhaps the ELD doesn't compensate for the increased load and your battery is dying.

you need to take a measurement to see how much juice is in your battery right now, then if you can get it started, watch the voltage to see if the alternator is keeping the battery charged while it runs.

the ELD is built into your fuse box, so its not an easy part to replace. more troubleshooting is needed.

i have a simalar problem, but mine will always start. It cranks for a long time after sitting for a day or so. and some times it will crank for a while then as soon as i let the key go to give it a break then it will fire right up and run perfect.

why wouldnt you check the battery terminals for corrosion or looseness first

its the basis of the cars electrical system

replace the fuse box. the ELD is probably not the problem. did you check the voltage at your battery? do you have a multimeter that can check continuity so you can check the engine bay grounds including the negative battery terminal?
