Possibly the main relay.

Definitely sounds like the main relay. Here's a picture of what it looks like:


It's located under the steering column up under the dash. It is a bit hard to see up there, but you should spot it. It's a bit of a bitch to take out of the plastic cover, but if you just wedge in a very small flat head screw driver on one side of the relay and gently work it out of the case.

You can get a pretty good deal on a new replacement from hondaautomotiveparts.com - hope that helps!

could also be your starter. easy test is to have a friend bang on the starter with a flashlight while you crank it, but try this only when it is giving you problems(after you warm it up). if it starts = bad starter.
