    Honda not starting
    The other day was out with the Honda and after coming out of store wouldn't start (same problem I have had in the past). This time just waited a few minutes and it started. Now wife just called and Honda has done the same thing again, this after sitting for awhile while she was in with the ladies having lunch. This problem is very intermittent, it will go weeks or even months before it happens again. I have had success with spraying starting fluid down the body throat but also just waiting a little while also has worked. In either case it started right up. I have replaced the plugs and spark plug wires due to a different problem. I have the full maintenance manual on the car which is a 1991 Honda Civic with 204,000 miles on it. The car is pretty good condition and runs fine, don't have to add any oil between changes.

    I would replace the main relay, distributor cap, rotor, Ignition Control Module, and coil.
