    93 civic with ~200,000Km. The engine would not restart , or start and
    stall
    immediately, after it is warmed up. I need to wait about 3~5 min before
    being able to restart and go.

    It happened twice recently. We stopped at the bank ABM for 5 minutes
    and
    came back out , the car started but stalled immdiately. Tried several
    time
    to start but no go. Decided to wait for a bit and it started fine. The
    battery did not seem to be the problem as it cranked over well and the
    weather is hot and dry.

    Did anyone experience this before ? Where should I start to look for
    problem
    ? The fuel line corroded and was serviced in January this year. The
    corroded
    part was cut off and replaced with a rubber line, since it was not high
    pressure.

    Thanks for the help...

    Hey, we're not making fun of you. It's just that this is the #1 problem
    with any Honda. Reports of this peak in the summer months.

    The Main Relay lives under the dash, above the hood latch. The solder
    cracks over time, creating the symptoms you feel. You can repair if you
    know how to solder, or replace at about $70.

    That's where I am going to start the repair, the main relay. A big
    thank to TeGGeR and all the contributors. You helped me fix the tail
    light problem where the ground wire corroded in the socket connection.
