This is a problem i have never seen. My honda runs great the first time you start it up.... run it for awhile... let it sit for half an hour.... it doesnt start. i checked for spark and no spark. i would have to say it is either the coil or the wire. I am replaceing the wire after work. The fuses are ok... The weird thing is that it everyday it runs once.

I am stunned at this... every day it runs ONCE.. i let it sit and it has no spark. i go through this every day.

Its some kind of electrical issue obiously. Whats likely happening is the coil or coil wire is fine when its cold. When it warms up and swells or stretches with the heat, its loosing contact. This expansion is pulling the wires. Coil or coil wire prob needs to be replaced. We had a dodge van that had a bad ignition module. It was fine when the motor was cold. When it would warm up the insides would swell and stretch causing it to run like @*#$.
