Ok I can turn on my car and it will drive and run perfect.. but lets say I have to go to the gas station to pump gas or run in and out of store quickly, and have to turn off the car and try to turn it back on then it WONT start... I have to wait like at least 20 minutes before the car will turn back on... I can hear the motor cranking and I smell the fuel, but the fucker wont start til like 20 minutes later.. So now Im forced to leave the car on the whole time cause Im afraid the car wont turn back on if I shut it off.. Now If I go to a mall or somewhere knowing Im gonna be in there for awhile I can turn it off and it will turn back on like nothing.. Also when it doesnt want to turn on, (sometimes not all the times) it WILL turn on for like a second and then shut off.. Please help, Im sometimes afraid that someone will jump in my car and take off with it while im in the store

Somone told me it was my mfr-main fuel relay but im not sure. looking for somone who knows what the fuck there doing with these cars. im used to having a turn key car and i just want to get this fixed the right way.

rep will be given to anyone with advice.

 

ignitor coil in the distributor. they hate heat.

 

yea so does the icm but i dont think its that
i found a crack in the solder on the relay board
im gonna try and solder it back up and see if it works

 

100% main fuel relay. for sure. its summer time. the main relay is probably the original, in the heat, these things tend to get old. the circuits are known for drying out and cracking. get a new one. in the mean time. before you start your car, tap it with ur hand or anything else. it is located under the dash above the fuse box, has a brown plug going into it. please dont listen to these people when they say its the distributor. its not. i had that car for over a year. i kno for a fact

 

You know, my old motor would do that, like if i shut it off, 50/50 chance of it starting it back up right away, sometimes id have to wait 5-10 minutes. With the new motor it doesnt do it. But i agree with the above, my PGI-FM relay is still acting up. Id go ahead and replace it, its just one screw to take out.

 

i took the relay apart today and found the crack in the solder i resoldered it and its working i also wired the o2 sensor back up so its running pretty smooth now thanks for the help
