Hi all.
This has been going on for quite awhile so I'll give you some background.
First what started to happen was my 89 5speed would start & then die instantly, I'd restart & drive off. Then it might start & die instantly 2 or 3 times. The day it happened 20 plus times before it would stay running I decided to have it checked. They said it was just bad gas. I drove it for about 3 days & it was fine. Then it started to do it again except Once I went to start it & NOTHING. No starter click or anything. I tried about 5 times & called a friend. When he picked up I tried it again & it fired just fine. I checked the obvious: battery, connections, cables. So I took it to a different repair shop and they had it 3 weeks and said it started right everytime & didn't know what was wrong. (They said it wasn't the ignitor tho, that was my guess) I brought it home & of course its doing it again. It will start & die, then sometime nothing at all, try it later & it starts fine.
Any ideas? I'm frustrated, dont have time to mess with it but miss driving my $650 Honda!
Thanks guys
