Default New Here!! Trouble starting 1993 Honda Civic EX

Ive been having trouble starting my car after a drive..for example if i drive for a few minutes park it on the side to get a bite, then try to start my car again it wouldnt start unless a wait about 30 minutes...

My uncle who is a mechainic checked fuel filter, fuel pump, distributor, spark plugs, battery is fine, but problem still continues to persist..

Anyone have any suggestions..? Please anything would help..

damn..when u try to turn it on..how does it sound? Does it crank(starter),try a different ecu, sumin electrical, if it takes 30 or so mins to turn on, sumin must be heating up or sum, wires/harness, inspect for shorts or even exposed ones at the plugs..

or maybe u got a leak sum where..dunno, sum'n maybe collecting and burning off, does it run good/strong. When it comes time to turn off the car,gas or fluids settle and dont burn off, making it hard to start it one after mins off turning off..(picture a whole lotta carb-cleaner in the intake, hard as hell to get it started)- since it affects air/fuel ratio badly...

When you turn the car off, what is the aprrox. temp inside the cabin? I am assuming this happens when it is pretty hot and/or humid insideconsidering you are are in HI. My guess is main relay,ignitor starting to go, or perhaps a bad coil. But is sounds to me like the relay. Next time it happens check to make sure your fuel pump is turning on when you first start the car, then see if your getting spark at the wires.
Good luck
