91 accord doesn't start
My '91 accord has problems starting. It will start when outside temp. has
cooled down. But sometimes it will not, even when it's cold. I thought
about the fuel pump, but I read about other's questions in regard to
similar problems, and the solution given the most was about a RELAY. Could
this be the problem I have? Does this have something to do with the PGM-FI
system? Another symptom about the issue is that I think the car may get
flooded. One day when it gave me the problem of not starting and acting as
if it was flooded was when I started the engine and drove to the gas
station. After paying and coming back to the car, it would not start. I
assumed it was because the engine was now warm, Or the temp that day was
hot. I had to leave the car there and came back to start it finally on my
4th attempt, (6 hours later). I need a mentor on this matter. Thanks.

It definitely sounds like the main relay.

Re: 91 accord doesn't start
Check your battery cables and connection to battery post. If loose you
could have a intermittant start varying with temp.
Here's info on main relay PGM problem and fix.

i have that problem, changed the main relay, didn't appear to solve the
problem, asked many mechanics, they don't know unless they keep the car for
1-2 days, no time for that, I just learned to park in the shade! And I
bought this thing you put in your windshield to reflect the sun when I have
to park in the sun. 5,99$ at Walmart.
