Problem for Acura 1989 Legend

89 acura legend won't start




By n_rhayes on Jul 04, 2009

" "
If you turn the ignition on (but not start) and see the S3 green light come on then it will start every time.

If you turn the ignition on (but not start) and you don't see the S3 green light then it will not start. It will turn over but not start.

What makes this S3 light come on (or not on) and then the car won't start???

Thanks for the insight

My 89 had a bad Main Relay located under the dash. I re-soldered the connections and put it back in and the fuel pump worked (listen for itwhen your S3 is out). There may be a bad ground causing the lights to go on and off (ECU?).
