New here, needing some help with my 93

[SailorJoeFrm734]

ok for the last few months ive been having a slight problem getting my car to start... when its hot out it will crank for a while but not start like its not getting spark. but then it always starts up after a few tries. but a few days ago it just wouldnt start. ive changed the plugs and ive changed the distributer cap. and it still just cranks and cranks until the battery dies. but when its cool outside it almost always fires up on the forst try! i was told that it might be the fuel pump which made since until i looked up some common problems with 2nd gens and i found a few other things. so i was wondering if anyone has had the same problem and know how to fix it! please let me know asap! i need my baby back on the road! thanks!

Check main relay

i was planning on swapping that out but i i dont know where i can get one from... other than online do they sell it at parts stores or will i have to go to the dealer?

im pretty sure you can get it from any parts store, but electronic things i prefer it to be oem. so a honda or acura dealer would be the best bet.

My guess is main relay as well. The g2 at the age now that its getting to the end of the relay's life span. Get it from the dealer.

They will work, you need the resistor box though. Also, DSM turbo injectors are 450cc, a bit more than your B series injectors. Keep that in mind.

i changed only the cap cause i was told that it was prolly just the points in the cap. i will have to get the rotor swapped out to and see what it is.

also again today i went to start my car for work and it was cranking real slow like the battery was low or something. but it did the same thing the other day cranked really slow and then sped up to normal and fired up. my battery should be good but other than getting it checked and possibly getting a new one what else could it be!? im loosing my mind with this damn car breakin left and right!
