Default 98 accord ex not starting in heat

hey, im new on this forum so i hope this gets good feedback.
I have a honda accord 98 coupe ex, for some reason, when the weather gets warm, the car doesnt start.

I have been told it might be a thermostat problem. I dont know whats going on, its pretty frustrating.
Scenario:
Basically, when i start the car, it struggles like if there was no more battery. But if i give it some gas while it struggles, sometimes it starts.

any tips or ideas as what might be the problem>?

Sounds like it may be the main relay. I haven't had this problem but comes up on this board frequently. I believe the fix is to resolder or replace altogether. Try searching for "main relay".
