You mentioned you changed the main relay and checked it as well... I'm just curious to know: what brand main relay did you get? Also, have you checked the computer for error codes again since the...

Glad to hear the fix worked for you!

Check your headlight switch (stalk). It could be the cause of the problem. It is best tested with a multimeter after removing the switch from the steering column but you can also try slowly switching...

Do a quick scan of your computer's error codes. If you disconnected the negative battery terminal recently, assuming you did when you installed your new main relay, the error codes may have been...

If the engine cranks, your battery must be okay. Being able to start with a jump may only indicate you have some electrical problem.
I suggest you check for spark and fuel when you have the...

I figured something must be wrong with the part which is why I was asking for the 'brand' - to make sure you are changing the right part. The car comes with a Matsuba main relay.

The main relay and igniter are the most common cause of the 'no-start' problems with your Honda. Of the 4 problems I have actually seen, 3 are with the main relay and 1 is with the igniter. They are...

I'm quite sure the problem is with the main relay but here is something you can do to double-check:
Buy a can of starter fluid. The next time the car would not start, use a Philips screw driver to...

If you checked for fuel and spark and you have both, try using your old spark plug wires. The spark may be too weak because you have the wrong wires.

Problems with the igniter and main relay are both heat-related. The main relay almost always becomes problematic in hot summer weather in your Honda. You should check both. I have posted about the...

When the problem occurs, listen for a clicking sound under the dash on the left end when you turn the ignition to the ON position (without starting). If you don't hear a click, you may have a bad...

When you say your car does not start, does it make any cranking sound? If not, the starter could be bad.
Assuming the starter is fine but the engine does not turn over, then you need to check to...
