my girlfriend has a 2000 accord v6 and recently there has been a srange problem. the car won't start when it is really humid or raining. i had an old camry that had the same problem and i found out that it was the ignition coil. but the accord has a dis ignition system so i have no idea what to look for.
has anyone had any similar problems or suggestions on where to look?

by all the mods on your car, i'm guessing you checked the positive battery cable?
my wifes intrepid had the same problem with her car and i changed everything.... plugs, wires, battery, etc.. and finally (after a co-worker mentioned he had the same problem) changed the positive battery cable and it fixed it. never had any problems with it after that.
good luck.

I would check battery cables,grounds (eng. & chassis) and starter connection first. I've also heard a bit about the main relay causing this symptom. Do a search and see if you come up w/ anything. I just don't remember where I saw it or I'd lead the way! Hope it helps.

thanks i am still working on it. i changed all the plugs because they looked pretty bad and made sure the battery connections were tight and clean. lets see what happens.
