Hi, I have a civic with 115K on it. Lately it doesn't like starting up
after the engine has been off for less than five minutes. It only happens
when I run into a store and come out again. I call it my Starbuck's
problem. 2 Mechanics have told me there's nothing wrong with my car.

Thanks.

It must be summer. The Main Relay problems are coming back.

The PGM-FI Main Relay has cracked solder.

In case katherine735 does not post an update to this thread, she just
emailed me to tell me it was in fact the Main Relay. She had it soldered up
and the problem went away.
