Default Accord will not start if engine is warm

I have an '89 accord that will not start once it has been run for a few moments. After it has cooled for an hour it starts fine, and runs great. Any suggestions?

Does it make a clicking when you try to start it warm?

If not, sounds like you have starter heat soak. May be time to replace that starter.

Very common problem with Hondas.

Default relay

Had the exact same problem on my old 89 LXi, I replaced the relay a few years ago and I never had that problem since.It was embarrasing to have a, still good looking car not start up in a parking lot.
