it could be your main relay that makes fuel pump ect kick on by your ignition switch, you say quid so im assuming your somewhere around europe, idk how much it would be over there but in the us its like 50 bucks, you should also test the fuel pump and look for any loose or broken wires. hope this helps.

I've been thinking its my main relay for a while because unsurprisingly to most die hard crx lovers the car starts when its cold or coolish outside but if its warm or warm in the car it will give me trouble. I started it at midnight last night and it started straight away but was giving me problems all day yesterday. That relay really needs re-soldering.

Thanks everyone for your replies

Took a crack at the relay today at work

None of the solder points on the PCB looked dry at all but still touched them all up and now I'm puzzeled as to how I know if it works or not lol

Thanks everyone for all the advice

Now you must Open the relay gently with a little screw driver and remake the weldings same if they appear good to you - Good Luck
