Warm engine starting issues
Hi,
My car has been running fine for about a 1year now after fixing the vacuum leak. Recently I have had issues starting the car on a warm engine. Basically when I first start the car in the morning I turn the battery on with the key let it sit for 2 seconds and the engine fires right up. But when the engine has ran to nominal temperature and say I go to a store for 10mins and I get back in the car and try to start it, it has a really hard time starting. The starter is spinning trying to turn over the engine but, car will not start. It takes 3-4 turns of the key to make it start. Anyone have any idea what this could be? Everything is fine when the engine is cool.
Thanks
PS it is a 1988 honda crx with a d15b2 engine from a 1991 civic.

Re: Warm engine starting issues
I will check the main relay and see if this is the issue.
onelessissue,
The engine once actually cranked over and turned off in about 1-2 seconds. For the most part it tries to crank but not actually turned over and start.
Thanks,

Re: Warm engine starting issues
