Default car doesnt start sometimes.

90 ex sedan. b16a swap. ran fine for since ~Jan.

just recently, the car started to not turn on, it would crank over and over and over but doesnt start. if you let it sit for a while it would starts up fine.

this problem occurs sometimes.

would a main relay play a role in this?

starter was replaced like last month with a perfectly working one.

In ingles, por favor.

Mine does the same thing sometimes, btw. I suspect it might be my fuel pump, but no way to really know without changing it out.

sounds like the relay to me. if you dont hear the fuel pump prime then it is your relay

If youre having trouble starting up when its warm outside its more than likely your main relay. Heres a way of resolving your issue if you dont want to buy a new one. http://techauto.awardspace.com/mainrelay.html

While youre working on it, relocate it and wire up a kill switch. No main relay, no start.
