Wondering if this might be Main Relay, Coil, or Distributor issue?

Car stalls occasionally, also, if you are shutting off during the day while running errands, and leave for a few minutes, it is reluctant to start. At times you can smell fuel but the car makes no attempt to flash up?...No spark.

Anyone have similar issues with their Honda? Is this common?

Thank you for your assistance!

Kind regards

No spark when hot: ICM?

Hmmm ICM?

OK thank-you. Will look int that

The car does it when cold too, also often races, at idle without touching the pedal?.... Also thinking MAP sensor ?

Is the lack of spark the only issue, or could there be others you just haven't noticed yet?

Many possibilities here.

Ignition switch (the electrical section) is darn common too, as is the main relay. Hell, a bad computer could do it too. The problem really should be diagnosed so you aren't just throwing random parts at it.

Yes, I guess, it could be a few things, not sure about ignition switch if the engine occasionally races, but it could be more than one issue for sure.

Sounds like it may have to go into an actual Honda dealer for a diagnostic?

It has been into a couple places but they have been unable to figure it out.

Thanks again for your comments, very much appreciated!

Multiple issues are certainly possible.
That's curious.
Fast idle speed after a cold start is expected, but once it warms up and the speed comes down it should stay down.
Not the case, I assume?

You will probably need someone smart, but the car will have to actually act up --- and act up long enough for that smart person to determine what is going on.
Dealer or indy, you need someone smart and capable.

Doubt a rookie/flunky/parts changer will actually figure anything out on purpose.






Or, you know, you could fire the parts cannon. Would be nice to have a working car to try parts off of first.
