88 Honda civic won't consistantly start when warm

[wallig]

My Honda runs well but every other day or so it won't start. Turns over but not starting. Usually happens when it's warm outside or if I had just shut it off. I used to be able to wait five minutes and then start it but now it takes much longer before it starts. I have a friend who has an 88 Accord and is having similar problems. Any ideas?

i need to take a pic of a main relay and what 4 connections need to be resoldered when you take them apart.... ive fixed about 50 main relays for the cost of solder and about 5 minutes worth of work each.... otherwise thier about 70 or 80 bucks at the dealer
