Hi everybody well I have a Honda Civic 1993 EX that's really hard to turn on in the mornings after maybe 4 cranks it starts but it feels like its going to turn of but it doesn't and the engine keeps on reving but when it gets warm up the engine works fine and when I drive it for a long time and then just stop somewhere when I come back doesn't start so I have to keep on crankin it ,but when I crank it more then twice I get a bad kind of burning smell inside my car so I just have to wait for about 7 minutes for it to turn on again but its really difficult . I checked the main relay and its seems that there is nothing wrong with it cause none of the silver things are cracked or have anytime of burning around them . So I wanted to know if you could help me to fix my problem I would really apreciate it Thank You
