When I get in the car and start it up it starts up fires and everything then it'll cut off after about a second I try it again and it just turns over but doesn't start then if I wait about a minute or two and try it to start it again it will start right up.

It's been doing it a while now and does it about once every month or so. Just annoying and if I ever try to sell it I don't want it to randomly just cut off. So any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg

Btw I have put a new distributor, wires, plugs, coil, and ignitor in it so it's not any of that. Maybe the fuel? :/ not sure

 

It sounds like you might need to replace the fuel filter.

I looked at my records and I replaced that too about 2 months ago so I was thinking maybe the main relay?

 

check your main relay

 

i'd put my money on main relay i was having the same problem a few months ago switched it not everything is fine

 

For main relay PM rubzerk...I think he sells them for 40 bucks. But it sounds like MR.

 

Yea man, the PGM-FI main relay. I had the same symptom on my 90 civic...

 

K thanks and I'll just jack it off my junk cars hence I have then in my back yard. Saved me 3k so far and that's profit I guess you could say.
I'll try it tomorrow

 

Who needs a main relay ???

 

I have my own but thanks for the offer.

 

So, was it the main relay? I'm having the same issue right now.

 

Well mine never did it but every so often but so far yes the problem is solved.
