My 1992 Honda Accord has almost 170,000 miles on it and has recently had a problem starting occationaly. The engine will crank but won’t turn over. If I sit there and wait awhile (5-60 min.) it has started right up. what do you think the problem could be? Thanks for you help.

My first guess would be the fuel pump relay. Listen for the fuel pump in the back. It should come on for a few seconds when you turn the key to the RUN position. The relay is usually located under the dash on the drivers side. I’m not sure about your particular year.
