Older Acura/Honda models (especially Acura Integras) often don’t start in hot weather. Reason is a defective fuel pump relay. This instructional video shows …

thanks for the video man- but you seem like a mad scientist..lol
Totally worked! Thanks
My car is a 96 honda prelude and it has that problem crank but wont turn
over But its in cold weather i already replaced my
battery,alternator,distributor,spark plugs and had the engine rebuilt im
going to try changing the relay and fuse but if it dont work what do you
recommend i have wasted alot more money then i would like to
Thanks. I’m going to try this on my 1999 Honda Accord. Fish On!!
Nice video
Sadly this video won`t start for me , it just skips right to the end sadly .
I had this problem in my 90 Accord, its a real common problem. ALWAYS look
at these utube videos BEFORE you go to a repair shop to fix a car.
No, he has what’s called an “accent”. This is something people from other
countries have, but I’m sure you weren’t aware that there actually ARE
other countries outside the United States. Thanks.
i have an 94 GSR with da same problem and i hope dis wrks ty for urr help
WTF I CAN SEE
@170324341a ur right my bro had the same problem he would have to tap the
relay ?and it would start the car right up it can b loose harness?
This sounds just like my 97 Acura integra!! Thanks! Hope it works for
mines.. I’ll be back later to let you know if it worked..
Yes, it’s got nothing to do with oil pressure. The Main Relay is a circuit
point that gets voltage to its various gates through soldering points.
Those points fracture with time and, for various physical reasons, will
increase in electrical resistance as the temperature goes up. That’s why
the car doesn’t start after a short trip or when the car’s been sitting
outside in the heat for a long time.
These youtube videos are priceless for relatively simple jobs like this. I
am a woman and I am hard for cash right now. My car won’t start. It will
crank but not turnover. I have a 94 Honda Civic. I paid a mechanic $60
dollars to diagnose the issue and he told me it was the distributor. $200
dollars later and a new distributor it is still doing the same thing. So
the next mechanic stated it was the fuel pump and wants to charge me $150
to replace. I will replace it plus the fuel relay myself.
@yagurl89: Not sure what kind of relay a 93 legend needs, but the part
number should be easy to find by Googling. Different models use different
relay types which aren’t interchangeable, so make sure it’s the right one.
OK NUMNUTS DO YOU VIDEO DURING THE DAY! SOMETHING that you are CRITICALLY
WRONG ABOUT! YOU DO NOT DESOLDER ALL OF THE JOINTS BEFORE YOU RESOLDER
THEM! In you case it worked, but this is not a good idea. Sometimes the
components on the other side of the PCB fall into the relay housing. NOT
FUN!
Dude u just saved me a world of headache so glad I found this video
having this problem with our ’01 mazda 626. i’m gonna try this out. i
really hope this works. i live in FL so the car won’t start alot of the
time.
Starving a car on gas gets the fuel pump hot “high circuit fault” check
fuse for fuel pump I am sure it is blown .
My Acura doesn’t sound like that, because I do not own an Acura…But my
Civic sounds exactly like that..!!!
Don’t go to the mechanic to replace something that working because you get
rip off..
Is this gunna b the same for a 96 acura
is this guy a retard????
Its got nothing to do whit fuel pressure
This information is WRONG! what if oil pressure switch is faulty that would
make the vehicle not start not true. Try it yourself disconnect oil
pressure switch and you will find out vehicle will start. Instead of you
doing all this working and if you have doubts that it would work try to
diagnosing it first. ALl you did was a repetition work and guessing. A way
to test this is by cranking the vehicle while it wont start and have
labscope or metter to the injectors and you will find voltage low
im not talking about his accent you fucking dumbass
Accents come not just other countries. It also comes from people from other
states. Like florida, rhode island, texas, ca, and yo mama. LoL.
I think he meant FUEL PRESSURE not oil pressure,other than that he is 100%
right.This is a very common problem w/ early honda motors
Are you shure its not just flooding making it hard to start. The sensor
thinking the engine is cold when its really hot so it goes and mixes the
fuel to rich and then its hard to start.
could u please help me out. my 92 integra starts when i jump start it then
i let it run to charge up the battery then i turn off the car and wait a
few mins and try to start it again and when i turn the key all the dash
lights go out and then the battery is dead again
Reminds me of Volvo 240 , 740 and 940 s that often have problems getting
started in hot weather or when the engine is hot .
I have a problem with my 1993 legend,,, when I put it in drive its not
going,it have a very hard time to move, the ideling is ok
I am nervous about doing the job but I was able to replace the distributor
and I know I can replace these two.
will it work on a 93 acura legend, if so what color does it need to be
because my bf bought a red little box when i thought it was the black box.
did he get the right one
i have a 1997 acura tl and i ran out of gas and it wont start i put gas , a
new pump , a new filter and now they think its to rely help plzz
@chugmonki I believe he is correct just from a logic standpoint. When
starting your car you might have fuel pressure from the previous run. If
your car sat for a month you would have none. The fuel pump will not
operate if the engine is not functioning (no oil pressure – except for a 2
second period during engine start). This is a well known fact that can be
backed up with the car’s electirical schematics. This is NOT an issue with
GM’s North Star Engine that can run without OIL briefly.
I don’t think this is always the problem with how the car sound.
