My car is due for its 6 month servicing. I called our local Honda dealership. They said it is most likely the fuel pump relay that transmits fuel and information to the starter. They said it was a common problem among Honda Accords from the early 90s.

They recommended to replace this fuel pump relay. This would cost $190. They indicated they could check if this fuel pump relay works or not. That would cost $130. Given these costs, they suggested I directly get the fuel pump relay replaced for $190.

This makes sense to me. But, I am no car mechanic. Does it make sense to you? Or, do you know of other likely possibilities? What should I do?

i can see if maybe you are in search and rescue or the army...but why would you buy one of these things? do you have a family of 20 that needs to be transported across mountains and lakes everyday? is it really because you think it makes you look cool?

20 hours ago decided to enter #3 after discovering #2 was being misunderstood. Today found #3 not in Motorcycles ...
so say howdy to #4. Is following 'too over the top' or has idea
been seen before? Add DOT approved third wheel rig having
secondary seating under mounting for optional sea kayak; the
overhang is within legal limit & not vision obstruction but for
the 4 o'clock blind spot as stern is slightly elevated. Hull is red
with yellow reflective deck, has dry storage compartments, &
easily can ferry 100 lbs of iced beer. Rig requires same as ballast minimum for left turns, officer, just look at my owners manual please. Street legal motorcross tires can run me up
from ocean to sub-alpine lake in a couple hours at 31 mpg so
I'm junking the '87 Dodge. Triple 'A' & cel' can get me a pre-
paid tow. Are doing home assemble mainly working from
components available from grainger.com and thule.com
P.S. Do you want the abnormality painted black or red?

Well still having troubles..., replaced the thermostat, water pump, sensor, fan motor, and still it boils out all the fluid, The last thing I think it could possibly be is the radiator, which seems fine. There's no fluid in the oil, and my exhaust isn't even slightly moist, any thoughts?

My fiance bought his car from a mechanic that is a friend of the family. The car broke down about 1 year ago and the same mechanic charged us 2500 dollars to fix the car. Now the car is having the exact same problems (the same parts need to be replaced) Shouldn't the mechanic do something about it at no cost? I would have thought that he would not try ans screw us over because he is a friend of the family, but this is not the first time that we have had to take the car back to him to have the something fixed on it more than once. Are there any laws that say he needs to warranty his work? Please help I am at the end of my rope with this guy!

It's not ALL motorcycle riders that do this... but a good number of them do. Their bikes are just so offensively loud sometimes! I'm curious what their motivation is; why they feel they need to do that.

How can I convince them to see that if you're responsible and safe about things, it'll be fine. People argue that it's not the motorcycle driver's fault, it's all the irresponsible, wreckless drivers in their cars that make driving motorcycles dangerous? I just wanna' be able to drive that bike and zig zag throughout the freeway and wear those cool helmets and jackets . . .
