02 Accord starting problem
 

2002 Honda Accord Ex V6, Auto, 96k miles, all stock

Starting problems spans about a week with 3 incidents. Most of the time it will start right up. Sometimes it will not start but it will keep cranking as I turn the key, no crank slow down detected. After several attempts I will give up. Usually if I try an hour later it will start right up, no hesitation and it will easily restart again and again.

Common scenario, wife goes to work, starts right up in the morning. She gets ready to leave work, the car won't start. She gets coworkers to try to jump the car and it still won't start. Keep in mind it turns just fine without a jump. I come to pick her up, give my try to start it... starts right up, just as described above. I had the battery checked by AAA and it's labeled has "marginal". Had the starter and alternator checked out and they are fine. The car runs fine when started.

I cannot duplicate the problem, but it has happened 3 times.

I am going to autozone to have them check the battery again, get it replaced if needed. I don't think it's the battery because it seems to crank just fine and a jump start won't work. I checked for codes on the computer and it's clean.

Does anyone have any suggestions or feedback on the situation. Any help will be great.
I post any worthwhile updates.

May be a possible problem with the main relay:

Main Relay Fix, Troubleshooting (Honda, Acura) and how to solder

See this link for location of main relay on your car:

that helps a lot. i have the same problem.

Yup, main relay or fuel pump issue is what it sounds like.
