possible relay??

[radrguy]

hey guys,

i have a 93 honda accord EX. i was driving the other day - noticed my clock on the dash was occassionally flickering. i thought nothing of it at first. then while driving later the next night - as i was going after a green light - i was going about 20-30 mph then as i stepped on the gas pedal - i felt the car lose acceleration and i coasted to the shoulder. the car seems like it starts up - but suddenly stops immediately right after the start-up. so it seems like it is getting power. not sure what it could be & i'd like to figure it out before it costs me an arm & a leg taking it to the shop. a buddy of mine says it could be the relay. your thoughts?? i'd appreciate your input. thanks.

it could be many things. as for the clock<<<<lol i think all ex models have problem with that piece of shit clock.

as for ur problem it might be spark plugs. wires. distributor. fuel. injectors. not enough air is getting in. etc.

i had that same problem.....turned out that my alternator was bad....put in a rebuilt one and haven't had problems since....well whenever im at a light and im in neutral i idle crazy but i think i need to reset the ecu....it acted like there was something stuck inside the air filter before i found out it was the alternator....good luck bro....alternator is hard as hell to take out
