    Carbed cars have fuel cut-off relays, not main relays. They both have the same problems with solder joints going out.

    ok, let get this mistery solved with experince and not by looking at autoparts website. most of them don't know shit about our cars.

    carbed accord don't have main relays but they do have a fuel cut relay that is on the back of the fuse box under the dash.
    EFI ones have main relay and it is on driver side, under the dash on the left all the way at the top.

    and final, fuel cut relay will not work on EFI accord.
