SEARCH for honda main relay. It probably needs to be resoldered
(anyway). Don't unbolt it, just slip the guts out of the shell. Other
posts will tell you how to restart without waiting for it to cool down.
Didn't your car qualify for the ignition switch recall? Usually main
relay only affects restarting, it doesn't cause stalling in traffic.
