Default 1998 Honda Civic LX Starting Problem

Hello,

My 1998 Honda Civic LX is having starting issues. So far I have:
- Changed out the Master Relay.

The Mechanic has:
- Checked For Spark. (During the no start situation.)
- Replaced The Fuel Pump.
- Replaced The Idle Air Control Value.
- Checked battery and alternator.
- Checked fuel pressure.

The car starts fine if I park it overnight and start it up in the morning. The problem happens after I drive around, park the car and come back 30 min to an hour later and start the car. The car will crank but will not start, until about the 9th+ try. The problem does not seem to happen when car is completely cold. Finally, I have even tried applying gas when starting during the no start and that has not helped ether. Once it starts, there are no issues with stalling or anything like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could be the ignition switch. Many Hondas have been recalled for this. Even the replacement switch can fail. Mine did (after twenty years).
