Hi,

I have a 93 Accord Aerodeck 163k miles & have a very intermittent start
problem. Around five times over the last 12 months or so when I go to
start the engine from cold it cranks a couple of times then makes an
odd noise then cranks quite fast but doesn't fire.If I hold the key on
it cranks like this for a few seconds then starts to fire now again. If
I keep the key on the now and again fires get closer together until
eventually the engine starts up and then runs fine. Just once the
engine stopped on me in traffic (just died for no apparent reason) same
procedure to get it running although this time it took a really long
time to pick up and I was cranking the engine for around thirty
seconds.

Any advice really appreciated.

Alan
