Hey Curly,

Yeah I've read about the Main Relay just underneath the left side of the
dash, I"ll check that first since it's the easiest thing to do. I did
however neglect to tell you that about an hour or so before the car died on
me I had to replace the cap & rotor. It was arcing by the ignition cap and
wouldn't start, I replaced that and it fired right up no problem. Then when
I was driving it for about 45min. that's when it suddenly died. I re-checked
the cap & rotor again to make sure it was on properly and it was on
correctly.

I really hope it's not the fuel pump since I hear the tank needs to be
removed to get to it, why can't car makers simply put it on the outside of
the tank where it's accessible, go figure. This car was given to me as a
winter beater and I really don't want to spend too much on it, it has about
300,000+ km. on it and had been fairly reliable since I got it a year ago.

Any other suggestions?

Thanx again,

Norbert

just died. Check for spark and it was strong, I wasn't hearing the usual
fuel pump buzz you hear when you turn the ignition so my guess is a dead
fuel pump. My question it "what's the easiest way to check for fuel
pressure?". If it's not that, does anyone have a suggestion as to what to

switch yet. Honda recalled about a billion of them . . . . Do a google
search for honda ignition switch recall. It could also be the Main relay,
but that never gives trouble while the car is moving.  If it failed to start
in the morning, there's a couple of other things it could be, but that's not
what you asked about. Since there's spark, your Timing belt is intact,
although it may have jumped a few teeth. Knowing your mileage and service
history would be a great help . .
