2001 Honda Accord Coupe LX 4cy
When I drive my car it shuts off on me and when I try to start it back up, it only cranks but will not start. After about twenty or thirty minutes, it cuts back on only to happen again after a while. Could it be the fuel pump? My car is fuel injected. Have found info on it but not sure where or how to figure out which one it is. Either the ICM the fuel pump, spark plugs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the EFI relay located inside the vehicle on the driverside. Sure sounds like that is the culprit.

Not sure if Honda ever fixed their problem with the ignition switches, but they can kill the car and not start until they decide. Then it runs like the wind until it dies again.
Just something else to check.

Suggested Repair

Check the EFI relay on the driver's side inside the vehicle. Also inspect the ignition switch, which can cause the engine to die and then crank without restarting until it cools or resets.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2001 Honda Accord Coupe LX reports that the car stalls while driving, then cranks but will not restart for 20 to 30 minutes before running again. The owner suspects the fuel pump, ICM, or spark plugs. Experts recommend checking the driver's-side EFI relay and the ignition switch, which can intermittently kill the engine and prevent restarting.
