start's than shut's off

My vote is for ignitor (ignition control module). Every time that has happened to me (across two accords and my prelude), it has always been the ignitor.

you can buy a new main control relay over the counter at either Honda or w/e parts store you use.

Key igition Switch

i have a problem with my key switch, when i turn my key igition to start the car it starts but i cant let the key go back or else it turns off, i have to hold to key to like half the 2 and 3 level of the igition. so basicly i have to hold the key to keep the car running.. what could be the problem?..

if you here the fuel pump when the car is on the ON position its not fuel so it could be the ignition or corr. cables

That is your ignition switch. Pretty cheap and very easy to replace. Did mine about 6 months ago. Just go to the parts store and ask for an ignition switch for your car. It plugs into a brown plug at the fuse box in the drivers kick panel and runs up to the key cylinder. Just unplug, remove, plug in new one. done.

Read anything that might be similar to your symptoms because only you know at the moment.
I think it might be your Main Relay..but then again not only Starting and Shutting off is caused due to your Main Relay. Do homework bud!

you should try the main fuel pump relay....thats what happend to me a few months ago.....i fixed the problem myself .........i googled where te fuel relay is at and they helped me fix it without having to buy another one.....it was simple

if its the main relay, you won't hear a "click" when you turn the key to the ON position, but not starting the car, just like position II.

If you had a jumpy tachometer and then it just dies out.....its the coil. I JUST experienced that last night so I know how that feels like.

If it just cranks and cranks but doesn't start, BUT you DO hear a "click" when your key is in the ON position....then its your ignitor control module, ICM.

Coils run about 74 bucks, ignitors run about 65 bucks and Main relays you can fix yourself if you're good at soldering stuff....b/c thats really all that happened, the solder points on it cracked and aren't making contact.
