help! car wont start when hot or under the sun

My maxima has trouble starting up after driving for a while or when it has been out in the sun for a long time. Seem that I have to open the hood and cool the car down before it can start again. Ive already changed the starter and it still has a starting problem. any ideas?

I had a Honda Accord before I got my max a couple of weeks ago and it used to do this all the time. The problem was a part called the "main relay switch" and it had something to do with sending the fuel to the injectors. When it was really hot this thing would stop working and leave me stranded and I would have to cool the interior down (it was located under the dash) before it would work. I don't know if the Max has the same part but this is a really common problem on Hondas.
