1990 CRX no hot start

    Hi All, my friend's 1990 Civic CRX refuses to start if the engine is hot,
    after a normal drive. When in the no start mode the engine cranks, and it
    feels like it is flooded. To start it again, he must open the hood for
    about 10 to 15 minutes, and without doing anything else, the car would start
    and run fine afterwards. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Main fuel relay. It's under the dashboard to the left of the driver on
    the Accord from that era. I don't know if it is the same for a civic.

    It could be water in your fuel line/gas tank. I had the same problem with
    my '87 Accord LX-i with EFI. It only happened occationally. Motorweek had
    recommended using 99% isopropyl alcohol in the tank to evaporate the water,
    so I did... Up until this point, I have not had the problem anymore.
