Hey everybody im having trouble starting my 98 ej6 sedan after a hot sit. I already changed main relay, spark plugs, cap, rotor, and ignition coil. Can anyone guide me to what else the problem could be??

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Got codes? What are they?


A good scantool would allow one to read more about what the computer is thinking.
Coolant temperature sensor?

Codes are not always the answer to a problem, and problems don't always have codes. Yeah it probably needs the sensor, but that shouldn't be the reason why the no start.

An O2 sensor does not become active until some time after a startup.
