Hello, my 1995 Civic with 162000 miles has been rinnung like a top for years
until I bought my second car. Then it must have got jealous - it sat parked
for about a week and when I went to start it today the engine turns over but
the car won't start. The car has always started on a dime and has had no
mechanical problems, I don't know what could have happened. It has half a
tank of gas and the battery is fine. Does anyone know what might make the
car just not start after it has been running fine for so long???
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I've seen quite a few 92-95 civics need a main relay.

Me too, the '88 - '91 Civics and Accords too. However,
the problems aren't symptomatic of a (failing) relay.
