Well, for starters, I bought a 1989 honda accord back in February this year, and she's genuinely the love of my life. I bought her for $700 with 116k miles not running for about 4 months with a suspected vacuum leak. I brought her to a mechanic in April and he said the distributor was bad and he replaced the distributor assembly, timing, spark plugs, lines, and the alternator for the battery. The first time she started at first, the car ran very rough and died quickly. Later she started again and ran and drove well but died if you stopped. Unfortunately before anything else was done I had some legal issues with him and stopped working with him and the car was dropped off by my house. Before the battery died I tried to start her again and she spudered and for a moment got fuel to the carb (if you got close you could smell raw fuel) but ultimately stopped and now only cranks. Then the battery died from sitting about a month later (the battery was already at the brink of death when we were with the mechanic) and unfortunately in my town we are landlocked so nobody had the experience on Honda's and the last guy who did, died in a house fire. All other mechanics including our own honda dealer won't work on my car, so I'm going on my own with my car with a few friends. At the moment in June, I met up with a good friend of mine with schooling experience with cars and engines took a look at the car and said the possibility could be the fuel cutoff relay with damaged solder joints. Now I'm trying to find it. He also jump started it for a bit and she has an extremely healthy and fast crank. I can feel she wants to start. So now in the present day, I'm attempting to find the grey fuel cutoff relay. I could be completely wrong. So at the moment I'm just asking for assistance I really need and ai and online websites fucking sucks and give me too many mixed answers. Please help, I'm open to any and all constructive criticism and tell me if I'm wrong or not. If anybody wants to work with me to help my dms are open. Thank you.

Heard two while waiting for the bus a little while ago and my friend reported hearing a bunch. Anybody know if it's something like avalanche protection or something?
