Default 1994 Accord EX No start when hot

Now that it is warming up (finally), the car has new issues.
When it is hot, the starter will not engage. Everything else works. Battery is strong. It seems like I remember a post last year about a relay or something that can go bad or expand when it is hot. Any ideas on where to start looking?

Wooo Hooo Time for a 'caveman' test.
have someone hold the key in Crank position, then you get to smack the side of the starter where the solenoid is.
If the starter starts cranking it needs a new set of contacts. [pic]
I don't think the Accords had the relay until 96.
So you just need to be sure you are getting power to the small wire at the starter when the switch is inCrank.
