I have a 92 Accord that has been acting up the past few months starting.
Seems to mostly occur after it has ran for a short time, shut off for a
couple of hours, start back up for a 2 minute drive and shut off, then it
will turn over but doesn't seem to want to fire at all. Most of the time,
If I wait another 10 minutes or so after trying, it will start right up and
run perfect. Any ideas?

main relay;see www,tegger.com

It energizes the fuel pump,and gets cracks in the relay solder
joints,becomes heat sensitive;opens in hot weather,works when it cools
down.You can open up the relay and resolder the PCB,or you can buy a new
relay for $50 or more. Once soldered,it becomes very reliable.
