1994 Accord EX 167,000 miles. After I drive around for awhile and shut the car off, If I try to restart it right away it won't start. I can hear the fuel pump run everytime I turn the key. It cranks over very strong for quite some time. If I wait about a min, it starts right up again. I'm not sure if this could possibly have anything to do with it but just incase you need to know, there is a leak in the water pump seal because some fluid leaks out the weep hole. I have kept it topped off until I get a chance to replace it. The engine temp guage never gets over 3/8th so it's not because of the the engine overheating. Please help if you know what you are talking about.

In response to the answer about the main relay. I've read that if the main relay is bad, the fuel pump won't go on when the key is turned.

Can someone explain the oil leaking into the distributor if that even sounds right

Your problem is classic Honda for that vintage. Most likely the MAIN RELAY is failing, and needs a replacement.
It is located up under the dash left of the steering wheel.
Recommend you get the relay from Honda, as some of the after-market are less than stellar in quality for that application.
Good Luck

There are only three reasons why a car won't start. Spark, Fuel or compression. I would check the spark to diagnose the problem when I am triying to start the car and it does not start. they sell spark testers that just go over the spark plug wire without removing it, pretty inexpensive in the autoparts store. if it does not spark it should be the ignition module usually located on the bottom of your distribuitor. Good Luck!

this is the Ignition Crontrol Module, it really is a effortless difficulty with hondas. sometimes the automobile will initiate high quality and oftentimes the automobile in basic terms received't initiate. The Module is a silver container positioned above the guidance column, in the back of the sprint. It expenses fifty 5 funds and easily takes about 10 minutes to regulate.
