Default Problem starting warm Honda Civic DXI 1994

Hello!

Sometimes it just won't start when it's warm after I've turned it off, or I'm just managing to stalling it. It has always started when cold, doesn't matter if it's -20 Celsius degrees, it just starts It will start after maybe 4-5 minutes! And it starts like nothing has ever happened...

It's never that warm that the weather makes it so warm...

This of course makes my very anxious when I stand in a roundabout and I maybe stall it and it won't start... and it feels like a million cars is behind you... God... This has yet to happen cause I will unfortunately give more gas than usual just to be on safe side... but that's not good.

Tips to what can be wrong?

Thanks for help and advice

First, do this:

The main relay in 1988 to 1995 models is well known for cracking of the solder joints. The symptom is the car intermittently fails to start (cranks but won't start) especially when the relay is warm.

In the unlikely event the problem continues after ruling out the main relay, then investigate further.

It's a privacy concern to post your car's complete VIN in a public forum. The VIN of cars not originally sold in the US or other major country's market will come up unknown to many sites.
