Car Forum / Acura Cars / February 200593 Legend L (Fuel Pump Relay)
My 93 Legend (164000 miles) would not start and the Acura Dealership said it was the fuel pump relay. The Relay Part and Labor to replace it would cost $213 plus tax. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how much did it cost to repair? Thanks, Gil > My 93 Legend (164000 miles) would not start and the Acura Dealership > said it was the fuel pump relay.

Sounds like you were charged for the EFI Main Relay and an hour's labor. It's fair. Although, the labor portion could have been $20 or $30 cheaper if you'd got an independent garage to do it.

I find it hard to believe that an Acura mechanic, who has doubtless done it MANY times and has just the right tools, would take an hour to swap out a relay. Charge an hour yes, take an hour no. Yes, it is tucked away under the dash, but it is still a one bolt, one connector operation. Is the Dealer price for a Main Relay $150 nowadays? For further info: http://techauto.tripod.com/index.htm Not quite, but the relay in that 2nd gen legend is MUCH more than the relay in the 90-93 accord. > Is the Dealer price for a Main Relay $150 nowadays? > > For further info: > > http://techauto.tripod.com/index.htm >Not quite, but the relay in that 2nd gen legend is MUCH more than the relay >in the 90-93 accord. So they put a different, more expensive part in the 2nd generation and it STILL has the same problem? >> Is the Dealer price for a Main Relay $150 nowadays? >> >> For further info: >> >> http://techauto.tripod.com/index.htm I see a lot more 91-95 legends on the road (compared to the 86-90) and I've seen way fewer main relays fail in them. But they are also newer..... so I might just need to give them more time. Also, the main relay is bigger.... maybe it was built to handle more power and heat. >>Not quite, but the relay in that 2nd gen legend is MUCH more than the >>relay [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> >>> http://techauto.tripod.com/index.htm >>Not quite, but the relay in that 2nd gen legend is MUCH more than the >>relay in the 90-93 accord. >> > So they put a different, more expensive part in the 2nd generation and > it STILL has the same problem?
