honda doesnt like to restart after use

[Vr-4-Life]

my del sol starts up 100% of the time in the morning and when i dont drive it for awhile

but if i run to the gas station and shut the car off. it has a hard time starting sometimes. i know it gets fuel becuase i smell it pumping.. it usualy starts if i wait a minute and then feather it gas while turning the key.. after that i smell a ton of gas burning.

i dunno what it could be

the solder joints in the main relays go bad in hondas. take it out and resolder the joints. i had the same problem with my civic.

Its pretty embarassing.

Last night on the way to the blvd i was parked at wawa with my friends 240.. two vws pulled in the space next to me.

I got to my car and said " Nice hondas " and got in my car after getting dirty looks lol



then my car wouldnt start up right away :( lol



anyhow what do these relays cost in case i dont feel like soldering in my poorly ventilated apartment.

[ho1ywars]

like twenty bucks. you can them anywhere. just ask for the main relay

if you do that would be cool... i can resolder the old one but a new one would save me the time...

rich, go to PFI off of spruce street. erin stocks them.

If the car wont start slam on the dash in the relay area a few times with your hand and it should start right up, I cant tell you how many people I know with Honda's that are too lazy to replace the damn thing and just beat on the dash a couple times instead.

if i give it a second it usually just starts up fine.. or slowly..... I found where it is in my car so ill just kick it next time lol
