If brake fluid spills, it can damage a lot of things, especially paint. I would not drive the car without the cap on the brake fluid. Brake fluid also absorbs moisture, so when you do get another cap, I would change the fluid. Maybe you could find a cap at a salvage yard. Get another cap, whatever it takes. I don't think the holder for the prop-rod is all that important, as long as the rod can't swing and damage something else.

I did replace only the fuse, and it didn't solve the problem. They're operational, but still with the delay upon the first few uses.
 
My main issue is getting down there. I'm 6'5" and fitting down there is tough! I'll try it tomorrow.

Since you seem to have fuel, have you checked the fire from the spark plugs?

94 Accord Idle and off idle miss by svsrdr

I have a 94 Accord EX auto with 115k. In neutral the car will idle good and smooth, in gear it often has a miss and this miss is evident while accelerating up to about 2000rpm. This weekend I ran up into the mountains for a family bbq and the car ran very badly with missing under even moderate load and idling in gear. If I have an additive like 44K or the Lucas injector cleaner it runs much better, no engine light has come on. When it was running poorly in the hills it really seemed like a carbureted engine that was jetted to fat for altitude. I had replaced the cap, rotor and plugs when the miss first started, the wires are from 2004 and have very few miles on them since that point.

This just happened to me too. Turn signals work fine, but occasionally will not work. Hazards don't work at all though. I'm going to check this out later to see what comes up.

More than a main relay problem? by pj_columbia
May 31, 2009 (8:36 am)

Need some help from those of you experiencing and conquering the main relay problem. I am on my 3d relay and continue to experience a similar problem - when it gets hot and muggy the car won't start. Once started I experience no problems the rest of the day. AND the starting problem ONLY happens when it's hot and muggy. My wife just traveled out west and back and experienced the problem a few times and I swapped out the main relay a month before she left. I bought the last one from the dealer thinking that I might have gotten a bum relay from someplace that wasn't the dealer. They've all been MITSUBA RELAY ASS'Y, MAIN RZ-0088 12V JAPAN. Has anyone else been able to correct the problem successfully? I took the car to my mechanic 2 years ago when the problem started to get out of hand. He replaced the plugs and distributor rotor. My wife is ready to trash the car and this is the only thing wrong with it; I hate to get rid of it...THANKS for your help.

.Here is a link to the main relay. There is a lot of info to read but there is one thing you can try with the relay that is giving you problems, mount it upside down. Heat rises and affects the soldered joints. Upside down gets the heat away from the soldered joints. There is also a section on drilling more holes to let the heat out:
