    Car Wont Start Sometimes

    I HAVE THIS WEIRD PROBLEM WITH MY ACCORD. IT WILL DRIVE PERFECT BUT SOMETMES WHEN I START IT UP. IT WILL CUT OUT AS IF THERER IS NO GAS, BUT IF I LEAVE IT FOR A WHILE AND CRANK IT AGAIN IT WORKS JUST FINE. THERES NO POWER LOSS OR ANYTHING DURING EVERYDAY USE AND THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER ARE GOOD. COULD MY ACURA LEGEND ALTERNATOR CONVERSION BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, IF NOT WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK IT MIGHT BE

    Search for main relay, I'll help you some but there more out there for you to find

    Main relays usually fail when its hot from what I've read. Hot days when the cars been setting in the heat with the windows rolled up, after things cool down it works.


    Also read this

    Electric part of the ignition switch, or at least I think thats what it's called. I had a simular problem it's about a 50$ part. I had trouble starting sometimes, but would run fine others

    yup..i got the same problem..and it's usually after i've been drivin the car around for while..then if i turn it off for like a few minutes to go in a store or sometimes while i'm gettin gas, the next time i go to start her up...she cranks, runs for a few seconds and dies..then i do it a few times more and there's nothing...then finally after a few more tries it will turn over and run fine..

    someone also told me it could be the main relay..mmmmm
