1995 Honda Accord Wagon
4 cylinder. My problem is the engine cranks but does not start. I looked online and found that I should check the PGMFI relay. I replaced the relay and the car started on the second attempt. I let it sit overnight and had the same problem the next day. I found that make, model and year had the last of the original OB1 plug. The Internet suggested I short out the 2 pins and count the number of blinks on the check engine light. The results were, the check engine light gave me a code of 12 the D4 indicator gave a code of 14 and the ABS light flashed 12. While jumping the 2 pins (OB reader) I heard what sounded like a solenoid thud, the car started right up. I let it sit overnight and the next day it was back to the same crank no start routine, I shorted the OB pins, after about 15 seconds I heard the thud again and the car started right up. That's where I stand right now. I need some help, is it another bad relay? I'm wondering if that will continue to work or what would you suggest?
Thank you,
Bill
