I have a '92 Legend that runs like a dream but for some reason it will not
start sometimes. The cars engine has been changed. I was having this
problem before the engine change. There is no way to pinpoint when this
will happen. The car cranks but will not start. I would appreciate any
feedback on what the problem may be.

Does it start fine if you let it sit for a while? Is it worse on hot days?

Maybe the Main Relay? They can be resoldered fairly easily.

Pull of the Acura nameplate, and replace it with Chevrolet, no one
will think it is a problem.

Do you mean pull "OFF" the Acura nameplate?

The joke would be funnier coming from a literate person.

Problem is the ignition switch or the main relay. Get those looked
at.
