A wise mechanic passed this along and I ask you to take a check of the Electronic Fuel Injector relay. Located up under the dash usually and on the driver side.

We replaced the main relay is that the same as the electronic fuel injector relay? If so, that still did not solve our problem. We replaced the distributor Tuesday and it ran fine Wed and it started cutting out again yesterday. Does anyone have nay more ideas? It did this last winter and we never could find the problem and all summer the car has ran fine. Now it is cold again so we are at a lost. We had the ignition recall done in April, could it already have gone bad?

I doubt the main relay is the same as the EFI relay.

Where is the EFi relay located on a 99 accord? If this relay is bad would it through the check engine light?That is a lot of our problem there is no check engine light coming on.

Today my husband started to leave work and the car would only idle. He said when you accelerate it would shut off. He pulled the fuel filter and fuel pump and that all looks brand new. He decided to spray them off with the pressure hose and it seemed to have ran fine for him to drive home. We still do not know what our problem is. When we call the honda dealership they tell us that the main relay is the same as the EFI relay. Please help us!

has the ignition switch relay ever been replaced. (it's located on the inside of the car on the steering column) Mine had this problem and honda had a recall on the part, but mine had to be replaced a second time at around that mileage.
