Bad main relay
Answereither a bad main relay or the starter... I had the same problem (it was random times but happened more often during extremely hot days) ended up being the starter... I'd let it sit for about 10 minutes and try again then it would work... dunno if that works for you or not.The main relay happened to be the problem on my 1990 Honda civic. Resoldering all of the the connections on the circuit board attached to the main relay, found below the change tray to the left of the steering wheel, fixed the problem with starting in hot weather. I also found that cooling down the car by opening all the windows and doors seemed to help sometimes during hot weather, but it was somewhat inconsistant.

Why would a car start in the afternoon but not in the morning?
A car may start better in the afternoon, because the heat of the sun has warmed up the engine. Once a car has sat over night, it may be difficult to start in the morning because the engine is cold.

Your car will not start in the morning won't even crank but starts fine in the afternoon The battery always reads about 12-125 in the morning and 125-126 in the afternoons Any answers?
There could be oil in the solenoid which is too thick in the morning but once it warms up later in the day the oil is thin enough to allow the solenoid to make contact and turn the starter. Is the solenoid clicking when you try to start it? It could also be a bad battery connection but it doesn't sound like it.
