SO i had some issues that you can read about here

Tonight I get ready for a meeting. Car starts right up. after i let it idle to warm up- it chokes and turns off within 20-30 seconds????

Try to start it up - it chokes and dies, in the process.
So i use my civic and jump start the car. no issue, right away starts up


drive to my meeting 30 minutes, all is fine. (still have my check engine light for my Bank 1 O2 on for now- but its just an O2??)

So after meeting i go to get my car and it doesnt start, after 3 tries batt is weak. I try to jump start it...

nope

So I try to puch start it down a STEEP hill, i got the car to 20-25 mph down this hill. It started up but only idled to 1200rpm with my foot to the floor on the gas Idle would not increase!!??

At the bottom of the hill- car shuts down again, while my foot was on the gas?

this car is drive by wier so i doubt i flooded the motor

had the car towed home after much todo..... so any suggestions

Is this a main relay case?
Odyssey says the batt tests good with 207 CCA of 220, but thats at 90% charge- with full charge on the tender it should be stout.

help please
 
quick recap:

tested batt at Odyssey authorized agent = batt good

Check engine is for O2 sensor (ECU code = P0141)

Car turns over but doesn't start.... exhaust even "pops" at the end of a try to start.

could it be main relay? or fuel pump relay? or any other suggestions?

thanks
 
When you first turn the ignition to "On", not "Start", do you hear the fuel pump running for a few seconds, right behind your head?

It can be main relay, fuel pump, or electrical issue, but as we have seen the most common is the main relay.
