sup guys..
my car never dies on me when i drive.. but when i shut it up sometimes and then i try to start it again it dies...
and i keep trying a couple more times.. and it doesn't work..
i just get the struggle noise.. of the engine trying to start...
but i wait a few minutes.. give it some gas and start it...
and off i go..
it happens like once every 2 weeks...
anyone know what the problem is?.. i thought it was my battery cable was lose.. then i tightened it to the max..
my battery is fairly new... only half a year old..
HELP.. i hate looking ghetto lol

if your motor is in good running condition its prob a tune up or something that you need... how long since the last one?

my car does the same thing and we have narrowed it down the the distributor...

Sounds more like a problem with your main relay. I was having similar starting issues (mostly happened if the car was parked in the sun all day). I pulled out the relay, opened it up, re-soldered all the connections and it's worked perfect ever since.
Very common problem with earlier model Honda/Acura's
99% sure this is your problem
