Main relay and main fuel relay

[1screwydude]

I'm seriously mechanically retarded as they get I think, got a Chilton mechanical book, but it really didn't help me any. Having problems with my car and have been told it could very likely be either my main relay or/and my main fuel relay.
Car starts fine and dandy when it's cool outside (early morning still dark, or sits in the shade) But when the car sits in the heat all day it won't start for me. A lot of people have said it could be those relays, getting hot expanding, all that fun stuff.
I got the main relay so far, but don't know where it is in the car, like I said the book didn't help me any and I have no cash to go to a mechanic.
Anyone know where this is and how to replace it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ok fellas....On CRX's and EF hatches, the fuel main relay is located on the driver side upper dash area by the hood cable. It looks like a box with seven wires....(it will look like the new one you just bought, if you bought one)
On 92-95 cars is should be up under the dash next to the steering column, on the side of it.
On newer honda/acura's look on the passenger kick panel where the ECU is located. (up under the dash area). They all look the same, but some models the plug is slightly different.
You can smack it with a flash light or object afew times and sometimes she'll come back to life, but you should still replace it that fixes it. GL!
