Default ODD starting problem

1993 Accord ex:When the interior gets hot it will not start. It cranks and cranks but does not start.

1)I have been keeping track of the problem for about 3 weeks. I am 95% sure it is because of a "hot" interior. Car sits in the sun all day.

2)Starts up like a champ when parked in the garage.

3)Starts up like a champ when it has been sitting in the sun all day and then I roll the windows down for 5 minutes to let the hot air out.

4)Starts up like a champ when running errands around town.

5)Does not start up like a champ when I go to my car mid-afternoon and don't let the hot air out from inside the car.

Anyone had the same problem?

ahh....have you tested/inspected the main relay?

Next time-conditions right, turn the key to on (not start just to on/pos II) and watch the CEL light and listen for the fuel pump....light stays on and no fuel pump prime...hummm

Thank you. I haven't inspected it but plan to do it soon.

What I did was type in "symptons of main relay going bad 1993 accord" into Google and the second page that came back explained my problem.

Here is an e-beer for you.
