I find that when I leave my car, a 1991 Honda Accord, out in the sun and hot weather I have a difficult time starting it. The engine will turn over, but will not catch. If I let the weather cool down, it will start. It will start sometimes if I keep trying. I got the coils, distributer, and alternator replaced a few months ago. Any ideas? And how much do you think it will cost to fix it?

 

Interesting...

Try replacing your Plugs. Have you checked those? The plug gaps should be at 4.5.

Good luck

 

Most likely it is the main relay or the igniter. Not the spark plugs.

 

Can heat really play a factor in this? that is something else huh?

Definately, the main relay and the igniter are both more likely to fail on a hot day. In fact any electrical component is more likely to fail when it gets hot because resistance rises with temperature.
