Default I am NEW and my sister's 92 accord won't start

Hello I am new here. My sister has a 92 accord EX and recently her car wouldn't start (only will happen every few starts and if she waited for few mins or so.. then it will start or sometimes.. got to wait another few mins). She changed her distributor about a year ago from this honda place and I called them up and they said something about fuel regulator fuse or something like that. It would cost about $100 to fix.. does anyone if that is the problem? The honda shop told me it is pretty common problem on the older accord.. does anyone know what I am talking about? If you do.. please tell me how to change and where is locate at ? Thanks you so much

Do you mean "main relays"?

Located under your dash. It is just a 1" x 2" relay box. Probably ~$220 at your honda dealer to replace.

Ok guys. My sister told me when she is parked under the sun.. i guess they car get all hot inside and outside.. then if she try to crack it up.. it will crack but no start. If you are talking about the main relay for $40 under the dash. Can someone please tell me what it would look like (shape or wires connected to it? or color?) A picture would be so much help..
