Honda Main Relays Q. Vince, About two months ago I was driving my 1995 Honda Accord and the engine, along with everything else, just quit for a few seconds and then everything powered up again and was fine. Now the car won't start at all. It turns over, the fuel pump kicks in and everything sounds great, but then it dies almost immediately.

I checked the battery and connections and they are fine. I pulled the main relay and there was no sign of any cracks or broken solder anywhere. Perhaps this is still bad? Any ideas as to where I might begin?

Thanks,
Jason

A. Well, the main relay may look good, but still be bad. I wrote an article on Honda Main Relays and how to check them.
