just about every other week after I have driven a few miles and my car is warmed up, I will stop for whatever reason and when I go to start my car the "D4" on my dash flashes and my car won't start. I try to start it every minute or so until it finally starts. It usually takes about 5 minutes. What could be the prob?

When I accelerate it doesn't sound smooth. I don't know how to explain it because you have to be in it and listen to it. I'll try though. It makes a "bur bur" sound. Like it might be a vacume leak. It is not loud. The car has 182,000 miles. Any ideas?

Replace the EFI relay.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1993 Honda Accord SE reported that after a few miles, once the car is warm, stopping and trying to restart causes the dash D4 light to flash and the engine not to start for about five minutes. An expert recommended replacing the EFI relay. The owner later described a mild burbling sound during acceleration and wondered about a vacuum leak, but no expert reply addressed that symptom.
