My 1992 Mitsibushi Expo (also know as Space Wagon in Europe) has had this annoying problem for many years. The car will not start in hot weather or re-start after driving for awhile. I have heard that Hondas have a similar problem and it is the Main Relay. Does my car have a Main Relay? What is the problem? And how can I fix it? Thanks.

As far as I know, your vehicle does not have a main relay. However, you have two components that can also breakdown with heat; i.e. the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and the coil. Both of these items should be replaced every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.
Here's what the ICM looks like and costs:
