wont start in hot weather - 6/19/2007 2:20:43 PM    99cummins   Posts: 5 Joined: 1/8/2007 Status: offline today it was probably 85 and raining so i couldnt put the windows down. went out to start the car after work and all it would do is turn over as if it wasnt getting fuel or spark. the kid i bought it from had this problem last summer but this is the first for me. i usually put the windows down halfway through the day so it doesnt get so hot. any any ideas would be appreciated thanks _____________________________ 91 accord EX wagon stock Post #: 1

Some have bad solder joints, if you know how to solder it's easy to fix them. _____________________________ '03 Accord & '07 Civic '01 Saab 9³ & '05 9²x (in reply to 99cummins) Post #: 2

Check this out... http://techauto.te.funpic.org/mainrelay.php It's a little weak about exactly where to find it, but Honda always seems to put the main relay sorta above the driver's left kickpanel. _____________________________ '03 Accord & '07 Civic '01 Saab 9³ & '05 9²x (in reply to 99cummins) Post #: 4
