89 accord lxi has problems starting

my 1989 honda accord lxi will start fine then I will drive somewhere and when I get back into the car it won't start. It will turn over but not start. Then I have to go back in and wait for 15-30 minutes and come back out and then it will start. I think I smell gas when this happens. It does not happen all the time, just sometimes. Any help will do.

Hey there, it's your master relay. I had the same problem and so did my friend. I searched the net for an answer and always came up with master relay. I took mine out, resoldered it and it hasn't done it again. That was over 6 months ago. The Master Relay is right under the dash on the drivers side (on my '90 anyway). You just take it out, open the cover, resolder all the connections at the top of it and it's good as new. Apparently the solder they used in Malaysia or whatever was sub-par and when it gets old the solder disconnects after it gets hot. When it cools (usually 5-15 minutes) it will work again.
Go to this link! You will thank me. It is an extremly easy repair and works great. I was sceptical but it worked when Honda dealers, mechanics and everyone else couldn't figure it out.

They go into a lot of detail but I just took mine out, resoldered it and put it back in.
Hope this helps,
