I am having the same problem. I have been told that it may be a distributor problem. However I had the distributor replaced with another used one and still having the same problem. Could be this one is bad also, but not sure. Let me know if you find a fix.

AnswerThis is most commonly caused by a malfunctioning main relay. It's a $50.00 part and is located under the dashboard, left of the steering wheel. AnswerIf your car has a full tank of gas, open up the gas cap to release the pressure, wait a couple of minutes, and try again. Works every time for mine. Even sometimes if it's above half full, on hot days it won't start without releasing that pressure first. ~JCS AnswerI had this same problem several years ago. I called a local Honda dealership and asked for a technician. Apparently, I caught the right technician, who also recommended I release the pressure by opening the fuel cap. Apparently, hot days can create a vacuum in the fuel line which has to be relieved by opening the gas cap.It worked great that day, and has helped me 3 or 4 times since then. My 91 Accord still runs like a champ, but every once in awhile I still have to release this pressure on hot days.

Can you smell what the Rock is cookin'?
Typically on a clear day, no wind, sunshine, about 70 degrees Fh, I can smell what seems to be described as a mixture of melted crayola crayons with baby powder and onions. This odor has magically traveled the harsh miles from the direct spot..where the rock..has been cooking what can only be speculated upon.

How does temperature vary in earth temperatue zones?
The earth is tilted at an angle of 66.5 degrees. So, not all surfaces of the Earth receive the direct rays of the sun throughout the year. The equatorial region (23.5 degrees North to 23.5 degrees South), receive the direct rays of the sun and remain warm throughout the year as it is concentrated over a smaller area of land. As we move further away from the Equatorial region to the temperate zones (23.5 degrees to 66.5 degrees north and south), the rays coming to the Earth are more slanting and spread over a larger area of land so the heat is concentrated over a large area making it relatively cooler. The Polar Region (66.5 degrees to 90 degrees North and South) receive very little sunshine and remain bitterly cold for nearly 6 months of the year. On this basis the Earth is divided into 3 climatic zones- Equatorial (Torrid), Temperate and Polar Zones.
