Default 1992 Accord Starting Problems

OK folks, I am newbee here but I have had my Accord since 1992. It is a LX 4dr Auto.
Over the past two years I have started to have problems starting the car in
afternoons during the summer. It only appears to happen when it is 85 degrees or
hotter outside. I have replaced the distributor, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter,
fuel pump, and cleaned everything I can. It will fire once and then start to sputter.
Yesterday, I had my wife start it and I sat there for a few minutes with starter fluid into
the intake and kept it running. Then when you hit the gas it bogs down.. Any clue
would be appreciated. The car only has 99K miles on it so it should have a lot of
life in it.
Thanks, Al sends

Have you checked the main relay for cracked solder joints?

Thanks to all. It was the main relay. God I wish I would have found this
site earlier. In 20 minutes after I got the relay out I was back in business.
Thanks again.
