94 accord cranking issues
 

I have a 94 accord LX that cranks fine when its cold. Run it for about 30 minutes and shut it off and it wont crank back up. Or if it does crank back up it goes dead right away. I have done a tune up on it includind the timing belt and water pump. Runs great when it cranks. Only seems to happen after it is hot. Also when it doesnt crank, the wipers will come on by themselves and the power windows work without the key turned on. I found the main relay, when its cold I can feel it clicking, when its hot it doesnt always click. Could that relay be the problem? I am at a loss on this one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum,That is classic for a 94 ,the main relay is failing and needs replacing.

Thanks, I got one froma local junkyard today and an ignition switch. Going to try the relay first. If that doesnt work then Its on to the switch and then the distributor. Would the switch being bad make the windows have power all the time?

I'm willing to bet the relay will cause this problem

I replaced the Relay and the cranking issue and the wiper issue seems to have gone away. I still have the power windows issue but I can live with that as long as I got rid of the other issues. I swapped it out and let it run for 30 minutes, shut it off and then it cranked right back up. Let it run another hour and the issue seems to be gone. I drove it around for about an hour, stopping several places and it cranked every time. Thanks for your help. If I figure out the windows issue, Ill post it on here.
