ok guys and girls, any help would be appreciated....after letting my car sit for maybe an hour or 2, and it gets pretty hot inside the car and when i go to start it, it cranks but will not start. I just replaced the dizzy and everything a few months ago so that can't be it. it also does it after i drive and get out and then get back in like 5-10 mins later ex: getting gas. Its just really bugging me when i have places to go and i have to wait and sit there after a few minutes until it decides to start up! also the check engine light comes on so I don't know whats going on? any help is welcome! thanks!
That sounds very similar to a main relay problem. Supposedly, the sautering in the main PGMFI relay on early 90s hondas was faulty, so a lot of people have had to replace them ($40-50) or resauter them ($5). Here are some threads about it:

don't turn it off whenever you go somewhere that you know you're going to be there for less than a few minutes. you don't even have to turn it off at the gas station, just let it run while you're pumping.
this is just a temporary solution until you find out what the problem is....sorry I couldn't be more help to you

I have a 92 teg and I have the same problem, on hot days. One day it wouldnt start so I pulled out a spark plug to check if it was fine. But that was when I noticed that no gas was going in the engine while trying to start it up. Now when it wont start I just keep on pressing the gas pedal for a while til gas gets and it starts instantly. I dont know if this is a good thing to do to my car, but it seem to work for me.
