98-99 era Honda had a recall for a switch replacement. You might check to see if it was done. The main power relay is the most likely other option, it can be re-soldered with a little care and research.

Finz said:Check VERY carefully. If the tach needle does not move even the tiniest bit while cranking, then the igniter (ICM) is bad. The symptoms you described earlier appear to point to the igniter.
Ok... Just tried my 05 accord and the tach DOES move a bit while cranking. The 05, however, takes a few cranks to start so I have time to observe
The 98 accord, the one having issues, starts very quickly... Slightest bump and it turns over. I tried a few times and didn't notice any tach movement at all. But again, the starts quickly...
