After years of owning multiple late 80's and early 90's Hondas, i'm no stranger to the main relay problems. My 91 just rolled over 109K miles a couple of weekends ago. The main relay is original, but I have been holding off on repairing/replacing it until I actually needed to. Sure enough, a hot summer day yesterday I was driving and the car cut off. I knew immediately what it was. It started right back up without even dropping a gear, so I drove it home and turned it off in my garage. Went to restart, and I couldn't hear the fuel pump prime, and I knew it was done for. Ill be soldering the original this evening, already have a spare new relay on order. I plan to keep one in the glovebox for the future.
All I have to say, is that I love this car. It has never left me stranded, this is the closest it's ever been to "breaking down" on me, and she literally waits until she is in the garage after a quick little warning that day. So thoughtful.
I'll keep you guys posted if the main relay doesn't do the trick. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to finally getting this little thorn of a fix done.
