Need help replacing a main relay in a 91 accord
I have a 91 accord that has intermittent starting issues. I called and spoke to the local honda dealership and they said that this is a common issue in this car. They told me to replace the main relay so i went and bought the part. I am trying to install the relay without having to buy a service manual. Any help that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Steve

Look above the drivers left foot. For 91 I dont remember whether its up there or over closer to the left kick panel. I dont think theres any other relay up there that looks the same.
Turn the key & listen for it to click & then click again after about 2 seconds.

Disconnect the battery. I once welded my watch band to some (un-fused) terminals behind the dash of a 72 Datsun. I was amazed at the number of sharp pointy things back there as I tried to break it loose...
