here are the symptoms.. can anyone help?!
-some days it starts fine and has nothing to do with the weather.
-after it’s been started and i drive around for a while.. i can stop
and leave it off and parked for hours and come back and it starts
fine.. it’s just when i leave it over night.
-lately the engine turns to start but it doesn’t turn over unless i
crank it for a good few minutes.. then it seems to catch. other days
it starts fine.
-i got new keys.. the ignition switch is tight to the key.. and it has
a new battery.
-also i should note when it starts up.. sitting at idle its at 15,000
rpms.. then gradually gets down below 10,0000.

could it be a loose selenoid connection or something more serious?
are these symtoms of something else?? HELP!!! I LOVE MY INTEGRA
and want it to survive.

15 -thousand- rpm is a bit over the redline. 8-)
(I know you meant 1500 rpm and 1000 rpm.)

Main relay with cracked solder joints. A common Honda/Acura problem.
Tegger's website has great data on this problem and how to fix it.
Google will give you Tegger's URL,and turn up a few other sites,too,if you
search 'Integra main relay'.
