99FLHRCI Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Main Relay.....shuts off fuel pump and it will crank all day and not start. Then when you got out of the car and shut the door, jars the relay and it works fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Funny you guessed I slammed the door this morning...lol anyone know the cost of getting this done . Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Rockauto.com has the relays pretty cheap (my Integra was $20). I was on the freeway hit a bump and mine went out. I slammed the door on the side of the road after doing some trouble shooting. Gave it one more shot before calling a friend to rescue me....and she fired right up.

mseebs Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 most likely main relay, they're shit on 6th gen accords. of course could be something else. i've had the messed up starts since i got my car. it might do it once or twice then it won't bother me for 5 months. i just stopped caring.

Ef8sirJunkie Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Main relay fails when hot. Solder joints crack when hot causing the issue. I have never herd or seen 1 work after shutting the door in 5 years of being a Honda mechanic. Take out your relay and resolder it. Never had 1 fail after resoldering. Then start diagnosing. Can you smell fuel after cranking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
