Thanks Jim, appreciated.
I just bought one on eBay for $20 so will just switch it out once it arrives.

I had a 90 Accord EX and MFR was located on the outer body wall up high under the dash. Yours should be in same location. It is very difficult to spot. I always removed the speed control to access MFR and it was directly above the speed control module (module at lower side of dash about where your left knee is positioned).

MFR is mounted on a steel bracket. Don't try to separate the MFR from the bracket, but remove the bolt holding the bracket to the body,,,much easier.

good luck

I have a very similiar problem with no engine turn over if you have any advice. It's a '91 Accord Ex and it just clicks on hot days,except the first start of the day. Often, repeatedly turning the key will somehow cause it to turn over, but sometimes even that doesn't help. The battery connections are good(I've checked many times). Starter seems alright. There is an ignition cable that I've replaced between the steering column and fuse box that helped temporarily, but I haven't nailed this one yet. Frustrating

Hi i have a 1992 honda accord ex when the engine warms up when i am driving not overheating but normal then i shut it down like to get gas when i got to restart it it wont until i wait 10 min could it be a relay i really have no idea thanks to any suggestions.
Here is some real useful info; First try turning on the key and wait till the CEL goes off then crank. listen for the fuel pump to hum and then stop.

Open the throttle 1/2 or full when hot starting to help keep the plugs from fouling/flooding.

Pull off the vacum line at the Fuel Pressure Regulator to see if it has raw gas in it from a ruptured diaphram.

Install a new set of NGK spark plugs, if yours have more than 30k miles.

DO NOT under any circumstances throw parts at the problem until it is CORRECTLY and ACCURATELY diagnosed.
