car won't start
OK, I have a 1994 honda accord ex the problem is that it wont start. it was good when i bought it ran for a month then it wouldnt start after it rained. but 20 mins later it would now it won't start at all. I replaced the dizzy 3 days ago one i got from autozone. it ran for a day no problems then i woke up the next morning same problem it just didnt start. i went and got a new dizzy its the same. i looked online and everything people are saying to do i did. When i first put the car in the on poistion check engine goes out everything does what its supposed to do but when i turn it over it just cranks but no fire then i let go of the key and the check engine light comes on saying code 15. I replaced the dizzy 3 times and its the same with all of them. except for the one that ran for a day. but i replaced the plugs, wires, rotor, dizzy, and cap, but no luck. now im starting to wonder if the ecu is any good cause people say its the igniter but thats replaced when i did the dizzy need help asap if anyone knows what to do.

Re: car won't start
I would guess that it's the main relay.
my del sol started to have a similar issue when it got really hot. When I was researching MR's the other day, several other sites noted that it is more often that it won't work on days that it's rainy because the moister getting in the "dry socket" where it need to be resoldered.

Re: car won't start
Yes, what you described above is very similar to the problem that I had. At one point I also got CEL 15. Please correct me I am wrong, but I believe as long as you don't have spark it can trip 15. After all 15 all it say is ignition out put, if memory serves me correct. Personally, I believe your random starting is due the a back socket that sometimes makes the complete circuit while other times it doesn't.
You can always purchase one from a store try it for a couple days to see if solves the problem, if not return it.
