    I have a strange problem that comes and goes.
    Sometimes when I get into the car after it has been in the sun for a while,
    it won't start.
    the starter motor turns, but It doesn't start.
    If I turn it back off, wait a few minutes, it starts right up.
    It either starts right up, or doesn't start at all.
    It always starts if I'm patient enough.
    (after 10 minutes sometimes, usually less.)
    I have had this problem for few years now,
    and my mechanic doesn't know what the problem is, and would rather replace a
    bunch of stuff to find out.
    I would rather order the part online, and put it in myself with my new
    official Honda manual from Helms.

    Does anybody have a clue??
    My wiring and ignition is up to date.
    I have a new ICM (ignition control module)
    It seems to be something electric since sometimes I can just turn it off,
    and back on a few times in a row, and get it to start.
    Thanks for any help.
