Q: 98 Honda Civic loosing gas acceleration on highway. Main relay clicking. I turn key back 1 then forward 1 and is good again?
98 Honda Civic will cut out gas while driving. Main relay starts clicking and engine is still on. If I turn the key back one click and then forward again it will come back to normal. Did this 5 times one the highway on the way home. Have replaced a lot of things. I'm lost. Could it be the ignition itself. I replaced the ignition switch already
