Let me explain a little bit about the symptoms because i've been considering a few solutions to try but they cost money so i wanted to get everones opinion before i start spending money.

Well my problem starts when i drive my car for 10 min or so and i shut it off and start it again then it won't start. It cranks up but it won't start, i've looked at other people who has this problem and they said that it could be the fuel pump, ignition coil or the main relay.

I've also been having problem with my battery because it keeps getting drained and i don't know why.

But when i jump start the car it seems to start just fine. I had just bought a new battery, my ignition switch i replaced about 3 yrs ago.

And I just replace my radiator fan and sometimes my fan would turn on and sometimes it wouldn't so i don't know if theres an electrical problem or what.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks for taking the time. If you have any questions please let me know i don't know if im being clear. I just need to get this fix soon and im in a very tight budget.

Thanks again.

we'll today i started my car and this happened

electrical system turns on and off

 

What year? Does it start by jumping it each time or how do you get it to start?

 

sorry its a 94 accord EX

i usually wait 5 min or so and randomly it'll start. sometimes jumping the car starts but not sure if it works all the time.

i tried usually stepping on the gas to start but it doesnt work all the time.



heres the video i noticed it started doing this today. Electrical keeps turning on and off but the car still runs.

I was wondering if the MAIN relay and the fuel pump relay are the same. If not which one do i get? I've done some research and they said start of by replacing that, just don't know which main relay, I went to kragen, nappa, and autozone and they don't know which main relay im talking about.

 

Looked at the video, the first thing that struck me was the temperature gauge. Is that a true reading, or are the gauges "flipping out"? I have a 95LX, it never gets that warm.

If it were me, I would look for bad wires (insulation dry cracked etc.) or a loose connector. I have seen cars where work was done, and the connector just needed to be pushed in correctly. But you never know, my opinion is; electrical. Try unplugging things and replugging, sometimes just that can make a better connection.

Put a volt meter in line (amp setting) and see if there is a drain. Good luck, let us know.

 

well no the temp gauge is jumping up and down. One other thing was i got a new radiator fan installed and sometimes itll turn on and sometimes not so the temp will go up but not that high. It wouldn't jump up and down like it did yesterday.
