Default Intermittin problem when staring, need ideas

I have a 91 Accord, and I am having an intermittn problem that shows its ugly head every couple of days. After the car is warm, and I shut it off it will not start. It turns over like there is no tomorrow, I have spark, and I have pressure at my fuel injection rail. If I let it sit for a couple hours it starts right up and runs great for a few days and then does it again. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Check your main relay. Very very common problem w/ the 1990 to 1993 Accords.

Is this located in the main fuse panel under the hood or somewhere else?

check both 2-3 fuse boxes in your car, not hard to find and they should have some sort of labeling system on the inside of the indoor fuse box and on the outside of the fuse box under your hood.

Main relay is under the drivers side dash (not in a fuse box). Should be a small brown box labeled Mitsuba or something of that nature.

Thanks to all that responded, the main relay has solved the problem (at least at this point I have not had a bit of trouble)
Thanks again
