Did it again last night, after a while I was able to start it and get it home. Tried to start it again when I got home and nothing. Started fine a couple hours later, maybe something is getting hot? idk?

Could be as simple as the terminal on the battery being lose and not letting enough electricity get to the starter

We've seen lots of accord 4cyl starters (crv's as well) go bad and do exactly what your stating. Problem is getting it to act up while diag this issue. Starters kind of suck to do on them which makes it even more difficult to test.

Sometimes, moving the shift lever to neutral will help. If it does, it could mean the neutral safety switch is the problem. More likely the starter, but you have to test it to make sure.
