Default hot start problem + random stalling = bad main relay??? help pls.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my baby has been giving me some problems lately.. she only starts when she is cold, and decides to die whenever she feels like it

- i own a 92 civic si w/ a boosted b18b which IS equipped with a msd ignition system

she starts perfectly fine when the engine temp is cold
- but if the engine is at operating temp when i attempt to start it... it just turns over

the car runs perfect when it actually starts - BUT there has been a few times when im driving and the engine stalls

----------------------could this be a problem with my main relay??????//

Yup, my main relay is giving me problems. If it's hot outside, my main relay doesn't work some of the time. Also, it "shorts" out and my fuel kicks out during driving sometimes. I resoldered all of the points, but it only lasted two weeks before it shitted out again.

Definetly sounds like a cold soldering joint in the main relay. Easy fix or you could buy a working one.
