Default Hot soak?

I have a 92 gsr and it tends to not start after I driven it for awhile and park. Like If I stop to get gas and try starting it again.
I would let it sit for about ten minutes then it would start up again.
I thought it was a hot soak but it does it even if I drive around the block.
does anyone know whats wrong?

check your main relay. Make sure you hear click on when you turn your key to on. You can also listen to make sure your fuel pump is priming. If you don't hear either then your relay may be bad. Just given you something to check for.

why would it be that? wouldn't it not start ever if the relay was bad?

Honda went cheap when they made those relays. For some reason, when the cabin temp gets warm, the main relay welds will loosen up. I had an 91 teg and the main relay gave me so much trouble. Sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes I would drive to store and come out and my car wouldn't start. I found out that shaking the relay a bit would get my car to start. I finally got another relay and all my problems went away.
As I said I'm just throwing out ideas since he didn't give too much of a description. No one else decided to give this guy any help so I just wanted to give him something easy to check for that people tend to overlook.

I haven't tried it yet but I will soon. But thanks for giving me the info, I would of very guess the main relay was the problem.

So thats why the main relay is the problem, well thanks for explaining it to me.
