Default Starting my car .. any thoughts??

If I let my car sit for a few days and then go to start it... nothing will happen the first time. the 2nd time i try, i hear a spark noise. the 3rd time, it starts right up.

it only does this when I havent started it in over 1.5 days or so.

93 civic cx
gsr motor
18g greddy turbo kit
ngk plugs/bosch wires (.013)


why would it do that??

Make sure you have good engine grounds. Mine was doing this and I finally removed the engine grounds, sanded where the two metals contacted, reinstalled them, and no more problems.

I also only realized this after purchasing a brand new starter.

I let my 00 coupe sit for a couple weeks before without starting it and it started right up. There must be something else wrong.
