Car wont start
I have a honda accord (91?) 16V and it starts just fine when the weather is cold, but if i leave in the sun too long i am unable to start it. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Clogged fuel or bad sens?
Also have to replace the head gasket (oil in coolant) as well (the car has 100K miles; ~160K KMs on it); and i want to know how hard is it, and if there are any special tricks? Should i also rebuild engine or would new valves b ok? Any other things i should do to it since im already "tunung" it?  Any help is greatly appriciated

Re: Car wont start
well i wouldnt rebuild it if its only done 100k mate, and the headgasket is a big job if you dont know what your doing as well so i would take it to a garage,
you will need to change all the oil and coolant once the headgasket is done for good measure, is the accord a carb or injection???

Sorry its not accord :)
not accord, i was just lookin at my buddys accord, its a hoda civic CRX, and yes it does have a carb, (although i dont know weather it is one of those carbs with the injector in it).
I have the haynes manual, and it lists how to do the gasket, i guess i have to ask what kind of gasket sealant should i use (RTV?; black?) PS Where exactly is the main relay located? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

why you using gasket sealant ? i hope its not for the headgasket. use a oem honda head gasket not sealant shit.
take out your coin tray and look to the left, you should see it
