1993 Honda Del Sol 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive 120000 miles

Can the PGM-FI relay be pried out of the gray box and replaced? Looks to me like it is held in by a tab on the box and a screw driver can get it loose. The nut holding the box to the body is impossible to get at. Alternatively, can I just plug a new relay in and tape it to the firewall? My girlfriend will never know, but I will be her hero forever.

Hi Alexander Kover,

Yes, you can remove the relay from the box and plug in the new one. The relay can be repaired by resoldering the circuit board.

Remember to disconnect the battery first as the relay has live wires and if you are not careful, it can get shorted to the body.
