My 89 Honda Accord lxi (110,000 miles) has started to be hard to start
on very hot days. The engine turns over just fine, but doesn't catch.
One the third or fourth try, it will catch and run very rough for a
couple of seconds and then be ok.

Any ideas of what could be the problem?

Thanks

Steve

You need a main relay, it can be repaired as well.
