I'm still "kinda" new to driving stick so I stall every now and then. Sometimes when I stall out (usually in first gear) my engine will not turn over right away. If I sit there for a minute or two and then try again it might start. Then sometimes it'll start immediately after a stall and then die .

I'm trying to see if any of you guys have had a similar problem and see what the solution for you guys was or if this sounds like a classic example of the starter going out or what not.

Oh and btw my car is a 94lx and I had one of my friends who works on cars change the spark plugs last month when he changed my oil but Im not what kind he used.......Im not sure if this matters or not but Im just putting it out there. All help will be greatly appreciated!

 

I have this same problem. Since I got my Accord I have staled out about 4 times and each time it wouldn't restart for a little while. Any input would be much appreciated!

 

I'm pretty sure its the main relay.

 

But it only happens after stalling. How is that explained by the main relay?

 

check your relays has happened to me before

 

Are you saying the starter is not turning over the engine? Or is the engine turning over just will not run?

Same question? Why is the car stalling, is yours also because of human error?

Does not sound like the relay is the issue but need more information.

 

In my case all 4 times have been because I stalled out starting from a stop, like a noob. Then the engine will turn over but won't fire up. It only lasts about 1 minute or so. Some times more, some times less. Never much more though. Also the car has never failed to start otherwise so I'm assuming it can't be the main relay.
