Hopefully, it was the relay. I had a similar problem with a 1995 ESi. It would randomly die on me while cruising, often after going over a bump. It would then fire right up and run perfectly for a month. I got used to just putting the clutch in and restarting the engine while coasting. No big deal. Then it started doing it weekly. A few times, I had to push the car off the road. I would crank and crank. It would make zero effort to start, like there was no spark and fuel. Then it fired right up like nothing happened. Finally, it died during rush hour on a divided highway. I tried everything to get it going, but eventually had to call a tow truck. Then it started in my f'ing driveway! I eventually figured out that the ECU trace that supplies power to the crank sensor was burned up and supplying an intermittent connection. Without a crank signal, the ECU would not supply spark or fuel. I installed a couple external voltage regulators to supply 9V and 5V power to the sensors and that fixed it. I eventually bought a rebuilt ECU for a proper fix. Corbin '97 GSX dressed like a '95 ESi
