need help.. Car is allergic to heat..=D...
hi,
I have a 94 Teg Coupe (5spd) and here is the problem..First i go 2 work at 8am til 4 then park my car on the heat for 8hrs and when i try to go home and start my car it wont start. It does crank, which means its not the battery.. Tried putting some gas and it wont let me start. Sometimes i have to wait like 15-30min then it will start.
Some ppl say its the thermostat.. Some say its the fuel injector/fuel filter, etc...etc.. Dnt knw which one..Tried bringing it to a mechanic and they say that they cant fix it or check it out if its still running. They need to check it out when this issue happens.. So dnt knw wat to do...
Thnx...

It's probably your Main Relay!
It's a common problem on hondas. The relay solder contacts expand with heat and crack losing connectivity. That's why it works in the morning but not after work.
It's under your dash, grey/brown box. You can open it up and re-solder the joints, or replace it.
