sounds like your loosing fuel pressure, maybe check for a fuel leak, or main fuel relay operation

could be a bad fuel pump causing fuel to go back or u have a leak.. A bad main relay would not turn on the pump from the begining but shut it off when it warms up...

not entirely true older 4th gens when relay goes bad sometimes could turn the pump on and as soon as its builds enough heat inside the relay it shuts it down, older accords are the same way
