    Sounds like the main relay. It's in the dash above your hood release. Its a mug to get at but there's plenty of info here about fixing the problem and also getting the part out of the dash.

    Okay il search around thanks

    I would also suggest checking all the grounds, considering it is as random as it is. sounds like it could be the ground

    Ok um is there some kinda of diagram for all the growneds on the car
  • FullThrottleFreakFullThrottleFreak Wagonist
    I dont know about a diagram but there are four main grounds under the hood......... Battery to frame, Trans to frame (passengers side), Head to radiator brace and block to frame (drivers side)... Under the dash about 4 inches below and towards the steering wheel from the main relay is a ground (to the dash frame) Under the rear seat you should have one for the fuel pump (where it comes out of the cover in the floor pan) these are all the ones i had on my 89 DX wagon...

    They should make this a sticky it happens enough times.

    Okay I found the problem after 6months of messing with it end up be the ignition wiring harness was bad and had very old fuel filter

    that happened to my wagon it started up and died then it started up again and wouldn't start i thought it was the starter cause it went out and the dizzy so i replaced them but still wouldn't start. i cleaned all grounds under the engine bay and added another but still wouldn't start then i got another ignition wire harness and what i notched when i was about to unbolt the screws/bolts were loose i tightened them up and it started up fine but just in case i keep another ignition harness under my driver seat with tools in the back seat haha.
