This is a "known problem"with civics. You have to live with that.

UPDATE: Today I did whatever I could to diagnose the problem with my car. From looking at ALL the electrical connections, fuses etc..... Where the engine doesnt start, its hard to do certain things, but my teacher was right, the engine is flooded. I took out the spark plugs and you could smell fuel on them, so I used a propane torch to "fry" the fuel off. But one thing we did check for today was spark. My engine is not getting the spark!! Bad ignition coil is written all over that one, ever since she ran good in the cold and died in the warmth I knew it could be the coil.

The relay problem is because Mitsuba is too stingy with their soldier and don't use enough of it, and from heat and cold it eventually "dry cracks" which means that seam is a layer of nonconductive resin separating the two halves of the soldier. You can resoldier, but it is easier to order a new one.
