The main relay on my 1993 Accord sure did cause my car to
stop running. I was typically able to restart it in a few
attempts after coasting to the side of the road. The problem
went away after my mechanic resoldered the main relay. The
problem more commonly manifested itself as the inablilty to
start the hot car after stopping for a few minutes.
