ok, my girl has a 90 accord lx.... last fall we had a problem where when it was hot out, it wouldn't start after she got out of school, but it would only not start when it was HOT or the sun was on the car all day. so we took it in, and someone said the dizzy was bad.... yeah sounds wierd, but i can get a helluva deal on dizzys so i got one for her, and it seemed to do the trick... even though after that the weather sucked and cooled down, it seemed to do the trick.

so today we have our first pretty warm and sunny day of the spring, and wouldn't you know it, her car wouldn't start... and it was sittinng in the sun all day.

has anyone had this problem? why only when its hot? please reply FAST, she needs her car by monday morning!!!

thank you!

 

The fuel pump is going out. Cycle the key over and over until you hear the fuel pump. If a fuel pump is going out, it won't show until the first hot day when the pressure in the tank asks a little more of it.

 

this looks like its the main relay.. you should hear a "click" sound under the dash on the driver side when the engine light turn off when you turn the key on... if not... it can be the main relay

 

i replaced the main relay a couple days ago, and it was 80 degrees today and really warm and it fired right up, so SO FAR it seems to be the fix, thanks!

 

hahah yeah, main relay goes out, i bought a new one and never had a problem starting since ( this was 6 months ago )
