Sounds like it. they usually act up more when it is hot out. Checking it for cracked solder joints is a good diagnostic procedure.

yeah, sounds like the main relay could be giving you a problem. As Chiovnidca said, look for cracked or dull looking solder joints if you decide to check it out.

When driving the car all of a sudden it died (only happened once) tried to restart no luck. waited a few minutes started fine.

Is this also one of the signs/symptoms?
I thought the relay problems are only upon start up?
Could it be something else?

NOTE: Probable main relay problems started acting up on a normal 85degree day in Ca. is this hot enough to make the relay malfunction?

A main relay very rarely causes a stalling problem like that. Next ime it happens, see if it has spark.
