Or let the engine cool down. after that is ok. there was also coolant all over the engine but the radiator was full. it never overheadet except one time but it was not serious.also there was intense gasoline smell. any suggestions would help.

Sounds like you have more than one problem. If it will not start hot it could be a temp sensor on the engine or a relay. Most late model cars have these sensors & relays to keep them from starting when to hot.
The coolant all over has to come from some place. Did the car get so hot it blew out the radiator cap? Lose hose connection?
If it smells like gas all the time you have a problem that needs to be looked at fast. The car will have a fuel return system that takes extra fuel and returns it to the tank. If that becomes in oprable it could cause back pressure in the system and removing the injectors from the line would releave that presure.

The problem for the no start is the main (fuelpump) realy located under the dashboard by steering column. Common problem all Hondas and Acuras after about 5-6 years. The coolant problem could by related to the head gasket. Have you ever noticed white smoke from car when pulling away from a stop? For the gas smell, most of the cars have a cover running along the fuel lines. Road salt and dirt collect in there and cause the lines to leak. Same problem happens on top of gastank by the sending unit. Have someone put it up on a lift and check for any rotting.

My husband had the same problem with a CRX and it turned out that it was a relay switch that a mechanic can find and its really cheap to fix. I agree you should take it to a mechanic before it ruins something else. Hondas are great cars if you keep the maintenance up!
