    I have a 91 Honda Accord Wagon. I have the famous problem of the car not
    starting on hot days. I have done the other things recommended except the
    Main Relay. I have now bought the Main Relay but don't know where it is
    located. Can someone tell me where the Main Relay is located in this car?
    Thanks.

    It's the middle of the three big circles at the top of the page.

    No. You get at it from underneath. You might have to remove the knee
    bolster, like I did with my car.

    Lessons learned after changing 3 of these... With your new relay in
    hand, try separating the orange connector back piece from the enclosure
    (With a flat head screw driver). Crawl underneath the dash and perform
    a direct exchange of said piece.

    I've found that tyring to get to the screw that holds the entire
    assembly together often times is a big project in itself.

    You can buy this part for ~$65 on-line, plus shipping and taxes.
