    1988 Accord Starting Problems
    Hi, I have a 1988 Honda Accord LXI, 75K original miles that just started having starting problems when it's hot. It turns over fast but just doesn't seem to want to catch and start right away. The battery seems okay, I replaced the plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, air filter but I still have the same problem. I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas... Thanks. :confused:

    . Test/replace Ignition Control Module and coil. AutoZone will do this for free.
    . Test/replace main relay.
