Hi I have a 93 accord and the car has been giving me intermittent issues. I realized I was getting oil in the spark plug holes after the car had not wanted to turn over after pumping gas. waited about a minute, checked all connections and it fired up but wanted to stall. I got it home and turned it off and on again and it fired right up and acted fine. next time I turn it off and on it stays on for 30 secs then dies. so then I changed air filter, fuel filter, the spark plug tube seals and the ones under the rocker arms and spark plugs and no more oil on spark plugs but still gives me the same issues. the car ran fine last night after driving it for aprox 25 miles. gf took it to work at 7 am and ran fine. go to start it at 3pm and it cranks but doesnt fire up. pushed it into shade and waited 10 mins, almost started. tried again after 2 minutes at wide open throttle and it fired up and drove home fine. I heard a main relay can cause this under hot temperatures but I also hear the distributor clicking and that is as far as my knowledge goes so far. I was told to replace main relay, distributor cap and rotor and spark plug wires. should I try that first or do I need a new distributor?
also check engine light didnt turn off for 10 seconds when putting key to ignition. usually it takes about 3 seconds for it to disappear
