93 Honda Accord Problem

For the last two years, usually on warm days, I run the car and make a few
quick shopping stops. After 3 or four stops it suddenly stalls and will not
restart no matter what I do. This happens rarely, maybe once every two
months. The starter operates but there is no spark at all. I learned to
leave it for about 15 minutes and then it is fine again. The latest
episode, yesterday, was worse. It would not start after a game of golf and
still would not work about 4 hours later. It worked perfectly this morning.
This is beginning to annoy me more than a little. My garage guy says he
can't do anything really unless I can get the thing towed to him in the non
working state, which is hard to do. Someone else told me that some Honda
models develop a problem with some relay in the ignition system but I have
no idea where this thing may be located. I would very much appreciate any
advice anyone cares to offer.
TIA

 

The problem is your main relay.

Thank you very much. Man that was fast!!. It looks like a classic case so
I'll take the info to my mechanic and ask him to fix or replace the damned
thing. Thanks again

In the meantime, when it won't go, turn the key to position II and smack
the dash with your fist (left side of steering wheel. Honda will start.
