I have a 2004 RSX Base model. I purchased it back in October, this problem has been happening for months now. I have taken it to the shop 5+ times and they haven’t been able to recreate the problem. It is becoming more persistent now.

When I say random, I mean random. The car will stop accelerating and just sort of jerk along. When it loses power I can feather the gas and jerk along until I am able to pull over at like 5 mph. It happened again today and pulled over and let it sit for a few mins and when I attempted to start it back up it wouldn’t turn over. I let it sit a few more minutes and it started just fine and I drove it to work and back home with no issues.

Since I had an issue starting today I am thinking main relay, but I’m not really a car guy so I need a second opinion before I start taking shots in the dark trying to fix it. I can’t afford to get stuck some where. I would really appreciate any feedback you guys could give.
