So if you didn't already know i just bought a 1993 Honda Accord LX ( CB7 ) . The car was being sold for 200$ because there was a problem with starting it up.Me and my cousin thought that a recent drought affected the car. The previous owner drove it to work and it suddenly stopped working , there was no loud noises it just stopped. So i went to check it out and it ran perfect and i made the purchase.

Last night it rained and , my cousins wanted me to move my car because the f150 was needed and my car was in the way. So i tried to start it and it wouldnt start. We could hear the car turning over meaning that there probably wasnt a problem with the spark plugs ( I just changed them yesterday ).

So later that day i went to work and i got home about an hour or so ago.
Me and my uncle started it up and it ran perfect !

We thought the rain interfered with some fuel related product because when we couldnt start it it would choke,
Could anyone please help me diagnose this dumb problem ?

 

The main relay is sensitive to temp/humidity changes when it's crapping out.

 

Ah okay sweet , ill remember that when i go to my auto mech instrusctors shop .

 

Ignition system is also sensitive to rain/humidity. Bad plug wires or a leaky distributor cap.

 

does sound like a relay issue. or at least a good place to start. if it is the relay. there is a quick fix for it. that is if you know how to solder.

 

Yup i resolderd it and it runs pretty good . im just waiting until its really humid to see if it will start .

 

So I was going to go workout at WoW today and my car wouldnt start... I did resolder the main relay , so thats obviously not the problem. And it worked perfectly last night...

 

is your check engine light on?

check the ignition control module in the distributor?

damn man! head over to cb7tuner.com. it's easier if you go there instead of me posting links from over there haha

 

when its not starting randomly does it turn over and not start or does it just make the famous click sound and not start?

my prelude has the random click when its really hot out(sittin gin the sun) i replaced the main relay because thats what everyone told me the problem was. still the problem persisted. beginning to wonder if its the starter cut relay(clutch relay).

 

Yeah you can hear it turn over and not start. I DID re solder the main relay it didnt look that bad but i fixed what i could. I did some research it could also be some sort of voltage leak with my distributor maybe ? well we'll see on tuesday because im getting my car checked out from my auto instructor :D!

 

Nope no lights at all !

But i did start a CB7 Tuner account , and not that much people are on it , and its super lame.
