Hi, I'm in serious need of some help. I have an 87 Accord LX, carberator car. About a month back, it wouldn't start: no click, no nothing, power is fine. It was getting power from the ignition, so I assumed the starter solenoid went out. I replaced the starter, and the car worked fine for about two weeks. Then last night i drive it for about an hour, turn it off for about 5 min and go to start it. Guess what? won't start, same as before.Though the power seems to work fine, I thought maybe the battery is low( it is a nearly brand new battery) so I attempted to jump it from another car. Still nothing. I do alittle research on this site and see that the main relay is prone to going out. So here is the kicker, I can't find the thing to take it out. I do tons of research, even go out and buy a Haynes Repair manual, and everything points to the same place: up and under the dash, to the left of the steering column, right of the hood release. Everyone I have talked to says it is way up into the car, but I feel I went as far up into the car as I can. I removed the two bolts holding the fuse box on and disconnected a couple of contections so that the fuel box hangs down. I still see nothing.

I suspect that the main relay everyone keeps sending me after is only there in fuel injected cars. If that is the case, what is the problem? Maybe the fuel pump cut off relay on the back of the fuse box? I don't know. Any specific help would be much appreciated, Thanks in advance.
