Hi All:

Honda Accord 1990 EX

I have the above and for the last year(although it was gone for a few
months... i experienced the problem last year @ around same time) I
have been having a
problem. Every few days the thing won't start mainly when it has been
driven and parked up for a few minutes or when i am trying to get back
after work.

Turn key and S (sport mode light flashes). I have read in the groups
this could be a problem with TCU/ECU/Speed Sensor Problems but the
speedometer works fine.

I Leave it for few minutes(15-30min) and try again starts first time.

Any one got any ideas. Once it is running it drives fine. Is it a
problem with
electrical circuits being shorted....sometime my CD player in the car
does not work.

Thanks,
Ram

I have this problem also with a 90ex. Did you ever get it resolved?

This sounds like your mail relay. It will cost about 60.00 from an
aftermarket dealer and it is located under the dash up against the
left fender.
