sometimes car wont start after a 10-15 drive
when i drive for a while and turn off the engine, come back to the car to start it up. it starts up and die. then i have to wait for 1min and start it back up and it starts just fine?
i was thinking it could be fuel pump? or fuel related?
*** a while back i swap out my z6 motor to my orignal dx motor, it was doing the same thing to the dx motor too..*** swap back my z6 in, and still doing it...

MM&Y of car would help.
However, I agree with byronl, I would check the PGM-FI Main Relay first, it is a common problem on older Honda/Acura...

You can also just listen for the fuel pump priming.
When engine does not start, turn ign. switch on to the run position, [not all the way to start] and listen for the fuel pump, it should run for a few sec., if not the problem is either the PGM-FI Main Relay or the fuel pump itself.
I would also pick up an HEI spark tester and check for spark when engine will not start. 94

Relay first then the ECU will not initialize. Just wait for it. Have a stash of ECU's that only start the car when they feel like it. Waiting for someone to come by and rescue them.
