I have 1999 Honda Accord and live in Florida, every day my car would start just great in the morning but after all day on the sun I cant start my car. I replaced battery with the new one and it is still doing the same thing. Could that be a problem with alternator?

Hi Piotr,

You mean the engine does not crank when hot or it cranks but will not fire up?

Yes it cranks very well but it will not start, even when I use jump cables still it would not start until next day. Then it would start totaly with out any problem.

Hi Piotr,

Then it has nothing to do with the battery or starter.

You need to check for sparks and fuel pressure.

If it is a fuel problem, try changning the main relay.
