Check spark and compression, the idle adjustment screw, and the injectors. Also check fuel quality and pressure. Make sure your fuel pump is, in fact, fully functional.

And that's why you're going to do some research on the site and discover there is already a how to thread on lowering your car...

My '88 Integra sometimes wouldn't start for a few minutes or up to an hour. It would almost catch and then die. I took it as a challenge and replaced all the things you did to no avail. I was literally 48 hours from having it towed away when I read about the "main relay" sometimes having bad solder connections.

I got under the dash, found it and got it out, and put a soldering gun to what I thought might be a hairline crack --- and that was at least 30,00 miles ago. Starts perfectly every time.

I bought a replacement relay for a spare, but I like knowing the car's still running with my own quick fix. Scott.

where did you get your main relay from? and how much was it?
