Won't start when its hot.

I've noticed after I drive a bit, specialy in warm weather, like 80's, if I turn the car off and go to start it back up it won't. Temp gauge stays between C and H so its not over heating. It just cranks over. Kindof weird. Once I let it sit for a few minutes it starts up fine.

Main relay?

[F22HB]

hmm.. good point. I never thought of that....

[bagoon316]

always heard it was the main relay if it does what ur car is doing.

[F22HB]

Guess its time to fire up the soldering gun. Its a shame they have to stuff the relay so far up.

[Losiracer2]

yep, main relay, DIY it.

Yup, I plan to do it yourself it. lol

[SN2BH22CB7]

yup...MFR is your culprit bud!

and you're absolutely right...getting that MFR out can be a pain..

take the Cruise control unit out....unbolt the fan timer from the MFR...unbolt the MFR...swing that out...then take it out.

and if you have a 5spd...the clutch pedal and that starting sensor is in the way ( less clearance to work )

but once you get it out..

MAKE SURE...

you drill holes in the MFR cover AFTER you take it off the brown part. ( to allow for it to breathe better and to prevent heat expansion cracks in the future ) the holes will allow air to flow through that MFR casing instead of baking the solder.



get it done!!!!

[F22HB]

Nice tip, I think I will drill some small holes in the case. As for taking stuff off to get to it I don't think I'll have to,lol. I've gotten them out of a couple accords before. I'm good at reachin in super tight places.

Yea 3x on what every one else said. Mine did that for a while, then I replaced it.

[jdm_inspired]

[Accrdwgnguy]
