dying on the road. I mean no warning the power to the car was gone. Pulled over and after a few cranks the car started again. Now the car wont start at all. It turns over but dies immediately. I'm mechanically illiterate can someone help??? |

Stating that it "probably" is the relay is a little strong, in retrospect. The other suggestions made are just as valid - the main relay is just another possibility. Follow this link and read the first "crack" condition. It describes basically your symptom. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainr...mainrelay.html |

I'm mechanically > illiterate can someone help??? > Does it appear to start then die as soon as you release the key? Main Relay. Does it seem to catch but never actually fire up? Ignition switch. Does it die outright while driving, refuse to catch while cranking, but start up fine once it cools down a bit? Igniter or ignition switch Your symptoms also appear to indicate a fuel or air delivery problem. Dying at idle is associated with low idle speed and a dirty throttle body. Regular and correct maintenance with OEM parts will prevent almost all of these sorts of problems. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
