car won't crank unless i reset ecu?
i'm having a weird problem...first off i'll let you guys know what kind of car i have.
88 crx si
b16 w/ pr3 ecu
a month ago...my car went dead at idle....and it wouldnt start back up...it turned over fine...just wouldnt crank...so i checked all connections and fuses...and then disconnected the battery...then connected it back up..to reset the ecu..and it fired right up.....it didnt do it again till tonight..but..it has been taking a little longer to crank.....so tonight it happened again...and i had to reset the ecu...like 3 times...anyone have any idea what this could be? possibly main relay? there is a clicking sound when i crank it down near the fuse box..any help would be appreciated...thanks
oh yeah...the car runs perfect when its cranked...
