95 accord 70K miles (yes only 70 not 170), intermittent no crank problem. Turn the key, nothing, lights everything else works fine, no crank. Turn key 5 or 6 times and then it fires right up. Starter is good, jumped the solenoid connections and it cranks like crazy every time. Starter relay and solenoid are good, no problems with them. Transmission switch checks good. Can't find the PMI Fi Main relay in the wiring diagram so I am having a little trouble verifying that I have located it for a proper check. Any ideas?????????

It sounds like you have a bad battery. Even though everything lights up, your battery doesn't have enough power to crank the engine (which requires a lot more power than the lights)
If the engine will not crank but the lights work, the problem can be something between the key switch and the starter, including the neutral safety switch (a/t) or the starter solenoid on the starter.
Try checking the connections on the battery first. If that doesn't work check for the connectors in the starter. it might be the ground cable on the starter. It usually is a small connector on the back of the starter.
Sounds like you have an intermittant problem, check all your wirirng, then you can move on to ignition related coil reluctor wheel ( in side the distribitor electronic control module again inside the distribitor. It could also be a fuel system problem do you hear the fuel pump come on when you turn on the key, the fuel pump should cycle until it devlops adequate pressure ( usually 3 - 4 seconds)
Ken...great name...mine too.. Anyway... sounds like the ignition switch may be failing... If you're able to wiggle the key and get it to work intermittently, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.. KEN
hi,i had the exact same problem,and after many frustrating months ,i found out that by changing the speed sensor relay(located on the gearbox),solved all the problems.6 months have passed and still no troubles.when the motor heats up yhe contacts in the relay expand and dont make contact,thats why if you wait a short time and it cools down a bit it starts.i hope it works for you also.
