My car is 92 Honda Acoord. in hot weather or after filled some gas in gas station, it happends almost all the time. when I gave the first try, the engine started, but it only last for less than one second, then die. after that, engine never starts. I have to wait for few minutes, then it works again. So sad we have this problem.   Some of my friends said that that was the main relay. but I think I just fill some gas, it shouldnot have any business with the relay.  others said the distributor problem. Is there anyone know a little about it ?

Many Thanks!!

it may appear to be the gas stop but i just posted this to rodrijacamo about a 91 civic...

a lot of honda products and acura's around 89 thru 91 suffered from bad ignigters a jumpstart almost always worked when you couldnt get the car started... which made figuring this problem out more difficult... they had a recall at one time on them...
replacement of the ignigter should do the trick
hope this helps

Problems with the igniter and main relay are both heat-related. The main relay almost always becomes problematic in hot summer weather in your Honda. You should check both. I have posted about the main relay check on another post.
