As seen in my FS thread, I’m trying to help mommy-in-law sell her 95 Honda Accord v6. Aside from me moving it around in my driveway, it never gave me an issue and always ran. Since it’s her car, I know little about it and since her departed BF took care of it for her, she only drove it. That means I have no info or history on the car.
After battling through the typical Craigslist bs, the first person interested came to check it out. Of course it started right up, then died. Wouldn’t restart unless you let it sit for a minute. If it dies and you let it sit, it fires right back up but dies again. It would only run a few minutes at a time so I thought run the bugs out. Nope. Still dies.
After the guy already bailed and a quick google, I pulled the main relay and don’t see anything obvious so I put it back. I couldn’t get the electrical part of the ignition switch out so I tightened it back up and reconnected everything. Fired right up and I drove it down the road and back without problem.
So, it isn’t rainy today. Maybe a distributor issue? Maybe I hit it enough with a hammer in rage it’s scared to stall? Any thoughts from the more Honda inclined people that I can check? I’m not opposed to swapping out the main relay and the electrical part of the ignition switch if I can get the damn thing out but I’d hate to waste the money just to make this damn car sell. On the other hand I know it’ll be impossible to sell in a non-running condition.
