I have a problem with restarting my car after shutting it off. It's a 1992 Honda prelude Si 4ws (h23a1 DOHC non-vtec) 5 speed. Sometimes the car will start back perfectly - in fact it usually does. However, sometimes it will not start at all. I think it may be the main relay but this is the only time it give me problems. Is there anything else that may cause this problem? Again I have never had a problem starting the car under normal conditions (well just once a couple of weeks ago). The car will turn over but will not start. Bump starting doesn't work either, the car immediately dies. Before and after the situation the car runs perfectly. Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts, comments, or anything? Thanks.
