What is your question?
I have an intermittent stalling problem on my 2002 Honda Accord. I replaced the ignition switch because I thought this was the problem, but turns out it wasn't. I have checked the main relay and it looks great. The stalling happens after the car is up to operating temperature. Sometimes it will start right back up. Other times I have to wait 10 or 15 minutes before it will start. Fuel pressure is good, and ignition system is good. Any ideas? Thanks. - PJ

If you know the ignition system is functioning then this could be faulty crank sensor. If you have access to a good scanner with live data you can watch the crank sensor when it dies out. Alex
You said that you checked the main relay and it looks great? did you take it apart and use a magnifying glass to look at the solder joints on the little circuit board inside the relay case?
IF the fuel pressure AND ignition spark are indeed sufficient (?) (?) ... Then start car and drive on.
One - OR - the other is not sufficient enough to allow the engine to start!! I’m betting on the main relay > as stated in other answer. Good luck with it!
A couple of things come to mind and that is the crank sensor and the main relay.Diagnostics would need to be performed for a proper diagnosis.For the amount of money you just threw at the vehicle , it could have been diagnosed properly and cheaper.
copy and paste the video link below,this is your problem.you can either fix it or just buy a new one for around $55.00 at any local parts store,Part # 20113. the times that it won't start but just cranks>turn the key to on,not cranking,watch/listen>when the check engine light comes on and then goes off,listen for a CLICK when the CEL light goes off.if no CLICK,it will not start until this relay cools back down,after it cools down you will hear the CLICK when the CEL goes off and it will start....your car might fall under a recall on the ignition switch. https://repairpal.com/recall/05V025000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CMZ4g8n0FQ
