Default Car Won't Start

I did a search before i posted, but i didn't find anything. My car won't start sometimes after it's been sitting for a while. The battery is good, fuel pump is good. In about 10 mins. it starts.
I've heard about the fuel pump relay getting to hot, and malfunctioning.
Has anyone had this problem before.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

I had the same problem. If my car would sit in the sun too long, it has a hard time starting. Also, it would occasionally not start after I turned off the engine. I replaced my main relay(located under the dash near the steering column) and it was fixed. good luck

yeah usually it's either the main relay or it's the igniter in the distributor.

yeah, check to see if you have spark too. my ignitor went out on my once too. Common probs with hondas/acuras are:

ignitors
main relays
radiators cracking
