88 Civic DX with 1.5FI....
This just started happening...start the car when its cold and everything is just fine...drive til hot...shut off and then the car won't start again...almost feels flooded...after turning on and off the ignition 5-8 times and cranking it will start again and run just fine.
It has all new tune-up stuff as well as about 2k on a new main relay...any thoughts?

im thinking the same thing with the main relay.
I've also been told in school recently that the same problem can accor when driving your car and running into a store or something and coming back out and it not starting due to a air bubble in the intake manifold or something. But yeah Im still thinking its the main relay.

did you check to see if you are getting spark when the problem occurs?
