Q&A

take a look at the Main EFI Relay. This is a known problem for Honda for quite a few years. If it doesn't start when the temperature is high and starts when the temperature is low, I'd be willing to bet its this relay and should be available at your local auto parts store.

The main relay is under the dash on the driver's side but relay isn't sensitive to heat. If you locate the relay when the car doesn't start, hit the relay with a screw driver as you crank the engine over if hitting the relay makes the car start the relay is bad.

A component that is "heat sensitive" is the sensors in the distributor and igniter in the distributor. Often the car may start fro cold and not restart when the engine is hot.

I had a simular problem. Seemed to be worse in hot weather. Turned out to be the main relay. Under left side of dash by fuse box. Costs about $80.00. The fuel pump won't pump the adequate pressure to the fuel rail because the relay is not working. You might have noticed you don't hear thar whirring sound when you turn the switch on. The relay hasn't activated the fuel pump. Mimics a lot of other expensive problems. Good luck. P.S. I fought this problem for over a year then found the answer on a forum simular to this one.

we've had the same problem with a few hondas at the shop and it ended up being a problem in the distributor. they would start up fine, drive fine, but after you parked it and went to start 5 or 10 mins later it wouldn't start. try changing the distributor i bet that will solve your problem. It's obviously only happening when the components in the distributor are getting hot.
