92 Acura 1.8L No-Start & S3 Flashing

A while ago I started my car & the s3 started flashing & I had no pick-up.
I turned the car off & restarted & it was fine. UNTIL YESTERDAY. Car
started fine, but I forgot something so I turned it off. Would only crank
no-start after that with the S3 flashing constantly while in park. I did
some research & found mention of a possibly faulty Main relay.
Sound right? Any sudgestions? Anyone know where the main relay is
located?

TIA,
Chris

I have the same exact problem, but my "no start" and S3 light problem only happens 2 or 3 times a year. Let me know if you find out the solution.

Actuall I did trace it down to the main relay. Cost me about 62 from the dealer. Worth it!!

I found that if I reached up under the dash & tapped on the relay (left side of steering column 2 relays together...larger of the 2 )it would start.

I took the old one apart & it smelled like it was burning up internally. If I let it go, who knows, could have caught fire.

New one had a different part number. Guess they updated the part.
