I do not have an after market distributor. So, after doing some digging I see that other people have had the same symptoms (stalling randomly) at it was the ignition. Which part do I need to pick up? Is it just the ignition switch I’ll need or more bits and pieces? I watched a video on it and it looks like a fairly easy job, aside from the general dismantling involved, but hey, that’s the fun part anyway! Stay dirty, right?

I’ve tried wiggling the key (rather vigorously, I might add) with no stalling. Is it possible that it’s something deeper in the electrical of the ignition? Is there a way to “fix” as in the main relay situation, or is this a auto zone replacement part type of fix?

Also, does anyone know where the main relay is on a 94 accord? My Haynes manual only gives some very general pictures without any sort of clear designation.

Alright gang, had a funny thing happen this am. I’m not getting any error codes. The check engine light is still off. Super cold morning here for the south and the car cranked up just fine. As I came to the stop at the end of my street the car died. Just like before, my car died. This is the first time that it has happened since the o2 sensor was changed. Naturally, I checked to see if anything electrical had come loose. All the battery cables were in place just fine. I’m thinking this might be a main relay problem now. Is it possible (per Eric’s videos) that a faulty relay will cause a car to start but in cold weather fail even once you’ve started?
What are you guys thinking?

Just so you all know, even if you weren’t interested, after I installed the new upstream o2 sensor the check engine light went off and it seems to have remedied the problem.banana:

Did the key jiggle thing with no problems. I’ve picked up a new O2 sensor because it was showing an error code for it. Will install it in am and see how it goes.

Just found out that it is throwing an O2 sensor code. COuld the O2 sensor going bad cause these symptoms?
