    I have an 88 prelude type-s auto. that would stop starting at certain
    times and start right back up after setting for an hour or a day,or
    die while driving. I replaced the fuel relay sensor but the problem
    has not gone away. A friend told me that it could be my crankshaft
    poistion sensor, but it doesnt not say in my Haynes mannual if I even
    have one. If anyone can help me and let me knwo what they think the
    problem could be that would be awsome.
    Thanks

  2. Is it fuel injected? If so the relay for the fuel pump may be intermittently
    not working and you are getting no fuel. wolf

    The car is fuel injected, and when it want start I do not hear the
    fuel pump starting when I turn the key.

    As Wolf said, the main relay me be the culprit. If the main relay fails
    the fuel pump will not turn on. You can find many references to this on
    the web.

    tells you how to repair the relay instead of buying a new one.
