Default weird problem starting up

hey
recently since I got a new h23 installed I've been randomly having trouble starting my car. randomly, it wont start for like 5 minutes or so and when it does it sometimes goes up to 2K rpm and then dies down and stalls. and when it starts correctly, it idles at 1.5K rpm for maybe 5 minutes or so and then to normal idle, whats wrong? please help, I'm worried

yeah its usually hot out, when its been sitting in the middle of the parking lot at my school all day I come outside and it wont start right away. what is the main relay? I'm a noob sorry, oh yeah I think the car is considered "hot" when I go inside my car and can barely breath, haha

I had the same problem. Theres a write up somewhere up here or another forum. Ill see if i can find it and post. I resoldered my main relay in 5-10 mins, doesnt take long. Never had problem since.
