there's been 2 instances where my 1992 DA would shut off on me while driving at any time...if i've been driving for 30 minutes or driving for close to an 1 1/2 hours. this has happened to me twice since i got the car March 26. while driving my car will drop in RPM till the engine shudders and cuts off. then when i go to start the car again the engine will turn over but not fire up. if i let the car sit for 1+ hours then attempt to start it up again it will start up just fine like nothing happened.
i happened to noticed that last time it happened an odd sound was coming from the fuel pump right before the car died. i had to push the car to a nearby relatives house and let it sit for 2 days. when i came back two days later , like i said before , the car starts up normally.
i know when you put the car in the on position the fuel pump will come on for 3 seconds and it was not doing that after it died the day of , but like i said , when i came back 2 days later it started up completely normally.
is this sign of a bad fuel pump relay ? or a bad fuel pump ? or something worse ?
i kinda figure it's the fuel relay based off what others have said in similar situations. this is my first Honda so bear with me. thanks for reading & any help would be appreciated.
