Problem starting

Hey folks, question...today I was driving around and stopped off at this hotel/resort to grab some info for my wedding. I parked the car right outside the entrance of the resort and the valet guys said to just leave the keys in the car since I was just running in to grab some info. Well, I shut off the ignition, and rolled my windows down and left the keys in the ignition. Nobody should've touched it as there are valet attendants there. I was gone for like 5 minutes or something and when I came out, the car was where I left it. I got in and tried to start the car, but it would not start....just kept cranking. I tried that several times and the car would not start. I had the clutch in and all that and even tried pumping the gas pedal. Nothing worked. So I shut it off and waited 10 seconds. Then I tried once more that the damn thing started!

Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Anyone have this happen to them? Could it be the battery or the heat outside (was in the 90's here in Phoenix)? I don't know, but it drives okay now.

I think several people have reported that .. I know mine (6sp) sat out in the garage until it cooled before it started. I doubt it is the battery .. since the starter was turning. My hunch is that it is something in the computer coding or some sensor .. just call it another Acura 'quality feature'

Yeas I remember this very specific problem being posted a few months ago.. Im thinking it is fuel related due to the heat and "vapor lock" thing .
