well, i'd bash female drivers but i think i had a male teacher in highschool who did that. You just have to drain the tank and refill right?

Re: Honda Accord starting Problem
I know my car is significantly older than your car (89) however my car does that periodically too.. All I do is unplug the main wire from the system, wait 2 seconds, and then plug it in again...it does not solve the problem, but it gets me to where I want to go....

1999 Honda Accord - Manual Transmission
Today when i was leaving work i went to start my car but all it did when i turned the key in the ignition was "click" click" "click". I know it's not the battery because all the lights and everything came on. Does anyone have any idea of what it could be... I just bought the car Last week wednesday and it has 89k miles on.
Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Re: Honda Accord starting Problem
Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. I hope people can help me as I will be able to help with others with their questions.
As for the main relay, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND calling the "recall" center/department in Torrance, CA. I was so ticked off when I took my car and talked to the service advisor that why there are no recall on this. She even told me that there are many cases with the main relay. So I called the Honda in Torrance, CA. It takes a while to get to the right person and department. But I finally got through. They took my info, BIN #, make and year of car, what the prob was, and they gave me case #. Few days later, a guy called from Honda. I asked him why there are no recalls for the main relay. He told me because he never heard there was any prob. So I directed him to this site and other Honda sites. The $$$ to get my car fixed only cost 150 bucks. 25 dollar part with 125 labor. But I got my REFUND from Honda. They sent me a check. WE ALL NEED TO STEP IT UP A NOTCH. Call them, tell them about the main relay. The more complaint they get, they can make this a legit recall, and we can get a refund or at least, get it fixed for free for the future customer. |

Honda Starting Problems
**for anyone else that has the same problem. Mostly for 90-93 Accords. Been over a year and still no problems for me**
I posted this before and seems to be a really common problem..... Hey there, it's probably your MASTER RELAY. I had the same problem and so did my friend. I searched the net for an answer and always came up with master relay. I took mine out, resoldered it and it hasn't done it again. That was over a year ago. The Master Relay is right under the dash on the drivers side (on my '90 anyway). You just take it out, open the cover, resolder all the connections at the top of it and it's good as new. Apparently the solder they used in Malaysia or whatever was sub-par and when it gets old the solder disconnects after it gets hot. When it cools (usually 5-15 minutes) it will work again. Go to this link! You will thank me. It is an extremly easy repair and works great. I was sceptical but it worked when Honda dealers, mechanics and everyone else couldn't figure it out. Don't know why more people don't know about this. Everyone I know that has a 90-93 Honda Accord has this same problem. Usually only does it when the car has been driven a short distance. http://www.markl.f9.co.uk/howto/ele.../main-relay.htm They go into a lot of detail but I just took mine out, resoldered it and put it back in. Hope this helps, Tony |

Re: Honda Accord starting Problem
lol, diesel. Sounds like a lot of the problems in here are with the timing belt... just maybe. My 94 accord used to run low idle speeds and wibrate a little. A little tweak on the timing and it idles higher, getting rid of that vibration...

My 91 Accord has problems when it's hot outside...
It's been happening for the last three summers, but here lately it got worse. I couldn't find a shady spot to park today and my 91 Accord sat in the sun all day. When I went out to start it, it started and then died. Usually I can let it sit for about a minute and then floor it when I turn the key and it will start but today it just would not turn over. I was told there is a problem with 90-92 Accords with this...anyone know?
