Some of the parts are OEM. There are a few companies for each part and some
have HONDA OEM part in the company name. For the main relay it doesn't say
so though. That doesn't mean that the OEM part that Honda uses wasn't made
by the company that sells the main relay for $26.79.

It's a main relay for 91 civic non the less. OEM doesn't mean that it's the
best for the job. It simply means that it's the original part that Honda
used.

If I were you, I would try and fix the main relay first. If that doesn't
work, try the website I provided (you can get other parts with great
discounts as well). Or try this:
http://search.ebay.com/civic-main-re...fkrZ1QQfromZR8

My 2 cents.

Good luck!
