Hello,

My car sometimes has problems starting after stopping at a gas station
to fill up the tank.  It is running fine when I pull into the station,
but after filling up it the enginge will turn, but it will not catch.
Usually I just have to wait about 5 to 10 minutes and the car will
start like there was no problem.

It seems to happen most frequently wait too long to fill up (indicator
is near or past E), and it also seems to happen more when the weather
is hot -- but this is just conjecture.

Also, I bought the car in 2000 from an owner who left the car sitting
in his driveway for almost 2 years without driving it.  The previous
owner bought a new transmission, timing belt, and distributer before
selling it to me.  I have replaced the spark plugs, feul injectors, and
feul filter myself.  I also had a new computer installed for a seperate
problem with the car.  I don't know if the previous owner had the same
problem with the car.

Is there anybody out there who has heard of a problem like this???
Could it be a problem with the main relay like others have had with
civics?  Maybe it is a problem in the feul tank or feul line?

Guess you're right. The Main Relay problems are back, right on schedule!

It definitely sounds like the main relay.
