In the past ten days I have noticed two things. It starts very hard on a hot day (90 degrees or more). If the S3 light is flashing, it will not start at all.
Yesterday I had our local garage come over and check it out. They replaced the Main Relay two hours later and it starts ok now. The main relay is located under the dash on the drivers side. Remove the plastic panel to gain access.

I just bought a 88 integra 2 door hatchback . The guy I bought it from just had the engine rebuilt at a shop in Texas (yes he had paper work) and it looks to have been rebuilt as well. Here's the questions, when i start her up she likes to jump between RPM's when the clutch is pressed in at say a stop light. Goes between 600 and 900 Rpms just randomly then other times it idles alright. Any idea's because that is the ONLY problem with the car. Thanks!

if it is the check engine light disconnect your battery let the ecu reset and if it still is on after your reset then i would suggest changing the o2 sensor if it is your maintenance required light then just go underneath the panel beneath your steering wheel and there is a button it's square that you need to depress for three seconds to turn the maintenance light off

your erratic idle is caused by three possible things a vacuum leak your fast idle thermo valve of your idle air control valve. you can spray around with startin fluid on the lines to see if you can get your car idle to spike if its not that you can clean your IACV it's on the back of the intake manifold use carb cleaner in the ports and make sure you dry it well. as for the fast idle thermo just find a junkyard or recycler and replace.

I have been having this issue for a couple of years since living in FL. I would take my '91 manual, LS Integra out during lunch time in the summer and then when I was ready to return to the office, the thing wouldn't start. I would have to wait a few moments and then try it again. Usually it would start after a few tries. No one believed me when I told them this was happening. Now it seems to be happening again. The mechanic checked the distributor and noted that there seemed to be debris/interference on the connection (sorry for my lack of knowledge on this but that is the best I can do) and he replaced 'leads'?, cleaned it up, replaced the "gunky" spark plugs (due to all that cranking of the engine he says) and then it started right up. He started it up on and off all day on Thursday with no problem. I picked it up on Friday (started strong, like a dream), drove it to my job and then parked it overnight. I went to pick it up on Saturday and no go.  The engine cranked but would not start. We are at a loss here. Any thoughts out there as to what it might be? We have it narrowed down to ignition switch, computer related or distributor but my gut says it is something simple and not so obvious so I'm turning to my fellow Integra owners. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nyla

Forgot to add. . .it started up perfectly this Monday morning. My mechanic doesn't think it is the Main Relay as he recalls the check engine light coming on during "cranking". Is it light staying on or off? I don't remember. . .any thoughts?
Thanks again.

I have the same problem with my 96' Integra. I live up North in Canada, and the problem only happens during summer time for me. I usually have to wait 1 hour atleast until i can start the car again. A few things i did was: right after you turn the key, press the acclerator right after. This worked sometimes for me. I also sometimes have to play around with a couple of wires under the steering wheel, which helped alot but not all the time. I have taken the car to alot of people and no one can figure out, even Acura Dealership couldnt figure out the problem so far. Will keep you updated if something good happens. Some have said it could be the Alternator, but havent tried that suggestion yet.

They have a term for this condition, it's called the "petrol station relay". The relay controls the FUEL PUMP. Click on the link on message #15 and wander around the site, they explain it in detail.
