Problem Continues...

[Hilikus Funkin]

Finally replaced my main relay and it started perfectly everytime i got into my car, but it started again (right after i turn it off and run in for a sec and try and start it again, And sometimes when my car's been closed up all day). What the hell do you think could be the problem now?

Be more specific.

Does it crank at least?
Do you know if your getting fuel?
Could be the ignition coil...or timing belt.

cranking, getting fuel (can smell it when i take off my intake) and if it was my ignition coil my car wouldnt start at all ever, and my timing belt is fine it wouldnt break just because its hot. Its the problem like with the main relay. We replaced the main relay and it started perfectly for a week and then i had trouble with it again. I am totally stuck. Someone said something about maybe the computer messing up my relays, could this happen?

[audioquattro]

did you replace the main relay with a used one or a new one?

it is possable you have a bad ecm on your hands

[Hilikus Funkin]

its a brand new main relay from auto zone, do u mean ecu?
and if the ecu made my main relay go bad again or something i think i have a lifetime warrantee on the relay too.

[Hilikus Funkin]

btw do u think my ecu could be sending a code since its not starting? I just thought about it.

[travagliante]

Yep ecus can go bad. Luckily pm5's come literly 5 bucks a dozen. lol
couldnt say a dime a dozen.
nevermind

its not a bad idea to get a ecu that you know that works to test it out. It could be a short in the ecu somewhere.

thanks man, i get a junkyard full of 4th gen DX's right next to my house and i could ask them to let me borrow one and see if it helps lol, or get one from ebay or something. Anything else you think could be the problem, because my car has had so many problems ive started thinking about buying a 5th gen hatch or my friends 4th gen hatch and getting rid of my car.

[sastanley]

it could be the ignitor in the dizzy too...They give the same type of symptoms as the relay. Borrow a 4g dizzy too from your junkyard.

[Hilikus Funkin]

o ok thats kewl but i think i might just sell my car, i could get $1500 easily for it, and if i get that i could buy my friends hatch. Hes got a cold air intake, apexi midpipe, toucan rear section, new engine (but wont tell me which yet), jdm sir tailight middle, clear corners, momo shiftknob and wont tell me anything else until hes sure exactly when hes selling.
