98 Accord Coupe V6 - Won't start after short trips

Ibcarolek 13 February 2005 04:27:43
 My 98 Accord Coupe v6 has developed a nasty sporadic issue. It starts
great, with no problem. However, *sometimes* after driving it, if I
stop for a short while (say filling up with gas), it won't start again
or stalls immediately. After it doesn't start successfully, I have to
wait 3-5 minutes again, and then the car starts as if nothing was
wrong. It seems to happens more often when it's cold. The check
engine light doesn't come on, and there's no engine code. Any ideas as
to what the cause/fix is?

 There are many things that could cause something like this, but check
the easiest first:

Could be a leaking injector, perhaps even stuck open. It might be
flooding the engine, causing a no start until it clears.
Try running some good quality injector cleaner along with the next fill
up. Some cleaners actually do a better job on an empty tank, so check
the instructions. Sometimes you have to repeat this procedure a couple
of times.
It certainly never hurts and is an inexpensive way to see if it fixes
your problem.

If that's the case, holding the gas pedal on the floor while cranking will
shut the injectors off, and may enable a start.

I would say this condition would be unlikely in a car this old. Injectors
normally dribble when brand-new and not fully bedded-in yet.

 Thanks for everyone's input. While the car's year doesn't seem to fit
the Main Relay issue, we're going to give replacing it a try.
Everything else didn't pan out. After stalling, we did put carb
cleaner in the throttle body - and that started it up. I'll let you
know if replacing the Main Relay works.

 Instead of immediately replacing it, did you check out the link curly
sent you? (see one of the messages in this thread)
If you are handy with a soldering iron (or are willing to learn), you
can most likely repair the relay at a fraction of its cost.
