Just got my son a 95 Accord a couple weeks ago. Cars been fine but the past week or so it's not been starting reliably. Did some searching around and read about the main relay. Although it hasn't been really hot or cold, odds seemed high that was the issue.

Odds were wrong. Replaced it and the issue persists, when turning the key on I can't hear the fuel pump kicking on, hear nothing honestly. The ignition switch sticks a little when turning it, also read where the electronics go bad in the switch. I was hoping something else common on the cars someone could suggest? Ways to test what it may be etc?

Thanks for any responses.

 

This morning the car still will not start. I noticed the cel remains on, hoping that helps in diagnosing the issue?

 

If you have a CEL, I would suggest finding out what code it is. Just keep in mind the that code doesn't exactly say what is wrong, only where it is affecting and what sensor is faulty.

Also, a fuel pump that makes the sound that is working doesn't mean that can't be held responsible for a hard start, it may have the correct pressure but not the right amount of fuel being pumped to the injectors.
