starting problems, 1998 honda accord?
My 98 honda accord has been having this problem: the starter engages upon turning the key, the engine turns over, but it simply won't fire. I do this 10 - 15 times and eventually it does fire and run, but there's no guarantee how long it will run or that it will start the next time I turn the key off. Unfortunately, this happens very sporadically (meaning it happens several times randomly throughout the week, but whenever I bring it to the mechanic, the problem WON'T happen for them!), which makes it difficult to diagnose (not to mention the hassle of having to bring it in knowing that the problem might not be resolved!).
Also, several times the car simply dies while I'm driving, sometimes when sitting idle at a stoplight, sometimes while driving 70mph down the interstate highway! Obviously, this can be very scary, since the power steering also dies rendering the car difficult to control! It is my wife's car, so I don't feel great about sending her out when I know the car is having these problems!
Any suggestions?
