Have a 1991 Honda Accord LX. When the engine is cold. It starts no problem. As soon as I shut it off, it is hard to restart. Have to wait for a bit and try again until it finally starts.

Could be low fuel pressure -check it with a fuel pressure tester, also check the coolant temperature sensor.

Here is a link to an article from this site with step by step instructions and pictures explaining the process of checking the fuel system pressure, regulator and fuel pump in less than fifteen minutes:

Has your main relay ever been changed?
These are a problem on these Honda's.
It is located under dashboard (steering wheel column), you have to remove cruise control box to gain access. About $50.00.

Not necessary to replace the main relay. Take it out of the box and resolder the joints and it should be as good as new, if not better.
