Car difficult to Start when the weather is hot

Hello to everyone and any advice given is appreciated. I have a 2002 acura cl with a 3.2 liter v6. My car runs perfectly in all months but summer when it gets hot. My battery is only one year old and I don't have starter issues. Why Am I having starting issues because it's hot? When I can park in shade I have no problems? But I live in an apartment so slim picking. Also at night no problems starting my car...but no sun either.

Most probable cause is the main relay I had the same issue with mine when it was hot during the summer its a very common problem with Honda/Acura and its a cheap fix

main relay on CL 2001-3 are typically not an issue, Fuel Pressure Regulator is most likely cause...
