I have a 93 Accord with 205k miles that has run like a beast for almost 3 years as me as the owner. I had a hit and run a few months ago, and since then I havent been able to drive too much, due to a busted headlight. (I work nights) Last week, I went to start my car, and it wouldnt start. Cranked and cranked, and nothing happened. Brand new plugs, wires, fuel filter, and a distributor was replaced last year. Now I have managed to get it to start and run for about 20 minutes, but after that, it wont re-start from it being hot. I dont know what it is. I have bought an idle air control valve, and nothing happened with that, so I took it back. I had someone tell me the main relay could be the cause, so I bought one, and the previous one worked just as well as the new one, so thats not the cause. I am getting frustrated on my poor car, and why it wont manage to stay running! Any ideas, please?

 

Could be a faulty ignition coil.

 

What is missing when it won't start, fuel or spark.....I have to agree with phoot, does kind of sound like the coil or ICM.....starts sometimes, then does not.
