Porb starting when car set in sun to long
i have a 93 acura legend and when i leave it in the sun with the windows up for few hrs or just long nuff to get hot. The car will turn over but will not start for some times up to 1hr. i have found that opening the doors and windows helps to start the car faster. but have no probs when i leave the windows down during the time it is parked <and i dont like doing that>
if any one can help would be great

Could be the main relay, it is known to have bad solder points and when the inside of the car gets hot the problem shows itself (the main relay controls the fuel pump). When you get in the car and it doesn't want to start, turn the ignition to the on point (all dash lights are on) but don't crank, you should hear a humming sound for 2 seconds when the fuel pump builds pressure to your injectors. If you don't hear the humming there is a good chance your fuel pump is not getting power. Try searching for main relay for more info.
