im sure this has been asked before, since im going to be late for work, im going to ask, i will appreciate the help...

not too long ago when i was having overheating problems, my car developed a problem, the car (when hot) would idle funny, stall out, and will not want to start for a short while... after a few tries, the car would start as normal... since then, i have done a major tune up, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, radiator (replaced), t-stat, fan switch, tranny fluid, oil, i even messed with my tv cable... anyways, car runs excellent, and the car no longer overheats...

every once in a while, stalling out problem will re-occur... ill have trouble starting the car, and when it does start, it will not hold an idle, and stall again... this problem occurs for a short while, the car will eventually start, idle, and run as though nothing was wrong...

just yesterday, after driving around in the accord for a while on a hot day, the car stalled out at a stop sign... it took about 5 tries to get the car going again, but after the car started up again, everything was normal...

if anybody can help, or point me in the right direction, i would appreciate it very much...

thanks...

If it does it on hot days only, or when its been parked in the sun all day its probably your fuel main relay.

check or replace your air filter 1st.
might be something else..but this is relatively cheap
