Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the main relay problem only
relate to early '90s Hondas? I've never heard of it on one this new.
If it only has 40k, its certainly doesn't need a tune-up. It isn't even
time to change the anti-freeze for the first time yet. If it actually
starts and runs for a few seconds, there is nothing wrong with the starter
and putting gunk in the oil isn't going to make anything run.
There was a recall on ignition switches for many Hondas of this vintage.
Enroll in the Honda website owner's link and see if this is one of them.
The symptoms can be similar to what you are experiencing.

I have a '94 Accord LX with almost 200 K miles in it and indeed, at
about 140K I did have an ignition switch problem that manifested itself
similarly. A replacement of the switch fixed the problem but they never
told me that it was a recall issue, so I had to pay for the entire thing
myself. Still, 40 K seems to me too early to see the same problem
showing up though.

Honda/Acura uses the same relay throughout many models.
A '99 model can be 5 or 6 years old depending on when you took delivery of
it.
And it's still cheaper to re-solder the relay and be certain it's not the
problem before replacing an ignition switch.(and a lot easier,too)
A real "DIY" type of repair.

Nasty that, the Teflon in it just clogs up your oil filter.
Doesn't do for the engine.

Not everybody is comfortable with such resoldering. Bad soldering can
do more harm than good, too.

Re: starting problem
no the fuel treatment slick 50. But the car has not had a problem since the
last time i posted here. Strange. But I might check that main relay.
