Evrytime I run the car for awhile then leave it parked in the sun for 3 or 4 hours and the outdoor temperature is over 85 the car wont start. It turns over ok but won'start. If I wait 15 or 20 minutes it will usually then start. I have a 2001 Acura cl typeS
with 119000 miles. Auto transmission.
Do you think it could be just the battery getting old?
It is about 3 years old.

I think that the battery its good the problem.
Could be the Main relay.
Usually the solder on the main relay got loose with the heat.

Start checking the main and pump relay.

And let us Know!
