ok i've been having this problem for the past couple weeks, but it only happens once in a while, like maybe 4 or 5 times in the past month... it'll start but right after it does it dies, and i can't start it for a couple minutes, then it'll finally go and i'm good... any ideas?
also, could it have to do wtih the Engine Code #9 i have right now?

the main relay is simple to replace. it is located behind the coin pocket on the driver side. Im not sure what the cost is, it aint that much.

just go to a J/y anmd grab one, or you can resolder the joints on the old one.

The hatch I just bought had this same problem. I got the info from this very forum and last Saturday I replaced the Main Relay. Worked like a charm!!
