Car's dead... again.
Its got fuel, im sure its got spark, its got battery, its got starter, it keeps cranking over but wont start.
I think its the main relay again, never got around to fixing it.
I drove it about 2 days ago, everything was fine, went to start it, it wouldnt do it.
It was somewhat how/humid at the time of starting.
This happened to me before, a while ago, it would just sit there and crank, and eventually start, but now I was low on batt juice so I didnt have the option of keeping cranking it.
So what do you guys think? And where the hell is the relay, i was trying to find it under the dash yest, I even know about where it should be, but I couldnt see the damn thing.

I thought the main relay would keep it from cranking altogether.
Are you sure you have spark when it happends?
Some times(like twice a summer) mine will foul plugs when you shut it off hot for about 10mins then got to start it. All I have to do is crank it WOT for 10 secs at a time until I hear it hit then let off the throttle and it fires right up.

Maybe it is the plugs then, because thats sounds just like what happens to me. Shuts off on hot days, keep it cranking, will fire back up again later.

My symptoms were intermittent inability to start the vehicle, and the car would intermittenty just shut off. Over time it got worse and worse, until eventually it was only an 80% chance or so that the car would start.
The little piece of crap is $90.00, that's the only down side.
It's a little black / brown rectangle inside your distributer, it has three wires running to it.
