tpklude · 07-01-2003, 02:00 PM

it's finally time for me to fix this problem and want to know where exactly it's located?

G_Loc · 07-01-2003, 02:06 PM

under the dash, more or less above the steering column. its really dig in there... its brown and has like a 5 wire plug going to it.

what is the problem that you are having?

tpklude · 07-01-2003, 03:30 PM

when it's hot out my car on't start, my friend works as a service manager at an acura dealership and told it was the main relay and was cheaper to do it myself.

mine starts fine when it's hot as long as i've started it before.....WAIT --> I am having the same problem

Let's start a big group buy! How much can i get one for?

thanks for the pic, can't wait to get it done. i hate being at a gas station and the car not starting, it's makes it look like a POS and have to wait there like a jackass.
