Hi guys.

My 6th gen 2000 Accord has developed an intermittent problem. After being parked for two days it started fine but after about 1 mile of driving it started misfiring and then died. It would almost re start. After about 30 minutes I managed to get it started, it was a bit lumpy but that soon cleared and all was fine.

A search of the accord webs sites seems to indicate that it may be a dodgy main relay that provides power to the fuel pump to prime it and then keep it pumping as required.

I have seen that there is a repair that can be done to the solder contacts but I would rather buy a replacement first. The thing is I cannot find one anywhere.

If anyone one has any other ideas as to what it could be please let me know or where I can buy a replacement.

Thanks
 
Sorry to hear of your troubles with you Accord, I regularly fix these relays for just the cost of postage, but the fix doesn't always work if its metal fatigue failure and I would highly recommend new unit from Holdcroft Honda. Alternatively, you could try a breakers yard and since lots of Hondas share the same relay it should be easy to find on eBay using the numbers on your current relay. ;)
 
Please let me know which relay you need I have some for sale but will post out to you need one?
