If you live in a HOT climate, the main relay under the steering wheel can open due the heat built up in the car, and will not allow your car to start. This is particular to the early 90's model civics. I think Honda fixed it on mid-later 90's& up.

If its hot in the interior of car, open the doors and allow it to cool off inside, if it starts after that, then you need to replace the main relay.
