    Car starts then dies quickly. Now it won't start

    I had a similar problem 2 years ago and replacing the main relay fixed it, notorious problem apparently. I just this week had an issue where the car wouldn't start at all for several days, main relay was my first suspect due to the heat but that didn't fix it this time, after wasting lots of...

    Replacing Exterior Door Handle

    Anybody got any pointers for replacing the exterior door handles on our cars? I need to replace the driver side one. I've got the replacement handle, took the door panel off today. After peeling back the water shield from the panel there is an access hole leading to the handle.There are 2 bolts...

    Engine starts, then dies, then will not start.

    Got it from Advanced Auto Parts, i'm sure you can get it any car parts place. Its in a little packet up with the cash registers along grease for your spark plugs to avoid cross threading and other various grease/cream/gel stuff :) I've never used it before so i hope it helps. I just usually make...

    Engine starts, then dies, then will not start.

    Alright guys and gals, just finished replacing the main relay. Took me about 30 minutes, which given how awkward the relay is to get to, i don't feel too bad about. Also cleaned battery terminals while I had them disconnected and put some anti-corrosion jelly on them. Went on test drive, drove...

    Nah, see thats what i initially thought was the prob, so i replaced Dist. Cap, rotor, plugs and wires. Used NGK Plugs and even sprang for the high end NGK wires, thought that fixed me up, but the same thing happend again about 2 weeks later, when it was hot outside again. All of the symptoms...

    Yeah i'm with you, gonna go get one now, or try anyway. Hopefully that'll fix me up. Its so frustrating when your car doesn't start. Something i've taken for granted up until this started happening, ya know?

    Engine starts, then dies, then will not start.

    See thats what happens with mine too. When it doesn't work, I pull the wires from the dist. cap and reattach then pull the wires from each plug and reattach, then it usually works, but i don't know if its from pulling the wires that fixes it or just coincidence with giving it a break and then...

    Engine starts, then dies, then will not start.

    I'd love to see the broken one if its not too much trouble. I got under the steering wheel last night and was looking around , i think i've got it narrowed down to 1 of 2 small plastic boxes i saw, and i guess when i actually go buy the new relay i'll be able to tell by process of elimination...

    Engine starts, then dies, then will not start.

    I'm having the same issue with my 00 Accord Coupe. It started a few months ago when it was really hot outside. Its the same routine every time. It will start then the RPM's fall and it dies, then it wont start. I'll leave it alone for about 5 minutes then it will start. I initial though it was...

    voltage stabilizer really help ?

    I am also curious if they work, mostly as far as my electronics go. I have a 00 EX Coupe. I installed a power amp running my 4 speakers as well as a sub and ever since then my SRS light has remained on, which i've read can be caused by low voltage. Also whenever i had my head unit playing, if...
