1998 Honda Civic DX. I start car in the morning, drive to work no problems. If I shut the car off, it won't start again, it will trun over but not start. I have to wait about 3 hours and it starts as if nothing was wrong. This happens all the time. If I drive somewhere (anytime of the day ornight) and I shut off the car, it won't start again until until 3-4 hours later.
