Warm Engine won''t start - 6/26/2008 6:59:55 PM    mgabe2706   Posts: 2 Score: 0 Joined: 12/18/2006 Status: offline My 1996 Honda Accord EX is having problems starting when the engine is hot (not overheated). The car will always start cold, but if the car is warmed up and I stop, say, for gas, the car won''t re-start until it has cooled for about 10 minutes. The car will crank fine, it just won''t start. Is this a problem with a sensor that is defective? This problem seems to occur more frequently in the summer. Thanks for any help you can give! Post #: 1

There''''s lots of writeups online on either re-soldering the relay or replacing it. BTW, I think your post should''ve gone in the General Help forum.  You may get more replies there. < Message edited by peter4jc -- 6/27/2008 10:30:28 AM > _____________________________ Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life 1998 Accord Coupe EX 4 cyl. / MT AEM CAI & Tru Power Pulleys DC Sports header (ceramic) Thermal cat-back Neuspeed strut bar ''''''''''''''''04 TL rear sway bar AMR Engineering coi (in reply to mgabe2706) Post #: 2
