I just bought this car and for the first couple of days I've been very pleased as it has been running great but the third day it just died on me going home from work. After several minutes it will restart and again run smooth and steady for a few minutes but will then just die again, there is no hesitation or sputter when it shuts down like you would expect with a fuel problem but acts like the key has been turned off.
OK So maybe it's a fuel problem, I'll see what I can find out. Thanks
I've called three different parts houses and a Honda Dealership and supposedly there is not a fuel relay switch on the vehicle or at least available on either of their systems.
I've found the fuel pump relay on the car right with all the other electrical relays, sure enough someone has done a quickfix on it by crudely running a jump wire from the fuse block to the relay itself, I done a quickfix myself (temporarily) with a better jump wire and will try it for a bit to make sure but I think the problem has been solved, will update later when I know for sure. :-)
I put a new relay on it but that didn't fix anything, still have to run the jumper but I ran it more securely and the car is running great, guess that will have to do. Case Closed
