92 Honda Accord not starting at times

[Icanfixit]

I have a honda that at times will not start. Well since the last two of my accords that did this ended up being the diistributor. so I replaced the distribuor on this one. Well now, it will go few days fine, then go out to start and it won't start. I've been reading on that the main relay might be the problem.
The help I need is where the heck is it?? And how hard is it to get to???

You can get replacing parts untill you hit the right one but I would start with diagnostics first.

How many miles do you have on your car?

What is it's manitenance history: plugs, wires, distributor cap?

If plugs and wires test OK, it may point out to the main relay.

Good luck,

Sam

When I replaced the distributor. I replaced spark plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor button. The more I read about the symptoms of a bad main relay. It is sounding more and more like that is the culprit.
The car has 180,000 on it. But I replaced the motor and trans. with one that had 150,000 on it.

The main relay is under the dash on the drivers side. Hard to get to...it's a fair sized grey box (about 2 inches by 2 inches). It is brown on the connection side and has 4 large pins in it. Mine was hanging loose under the dash, but it has a bracket on it, so it might be attached to the firewall or under the dash. Replacing that relay helped me when I had the same problem on my 92.

Thanks, I found it , and replaced it last night. I took the old one apart, and looked at the solder joints. there was one that had a hairline crack around it. I sure hope this fixes the problem.
