Engine doesn't start. Hot day not cold engine. - Honda Prelude Forum

I wonder if y'all have this problem with your lude or not. In fact, some people told me all the honda cars are like that.

Usually, the engine doesn't start in a hot day, afternoon after my class, and not cold engine though. I always have this problem starting my car after my class.

I personally always have a good habit to warm up my car every morning before I drive. In fact, I have no problem starting my car every morning (cold engine) but afternoon (hot).

So, do y'all have any problem similar to this. If so, how could you fix it? Please advice.....

THanks

It's your PGM main relay. The relay is located in the dash to the left of the steering wheel. The soldering in the relay cracks over time and causes loose connections. You can take out the relay and resolder it or you can just replace the relay.

Easy fix.
