I have a 98 civic lh and it will get a bad miss between 1500 and 2000 rpms. Is that also a coil problem. Also, this seems to happen along with that problem......when I stop for a short time and try to start the car again , it will not start for about 10 minutes. It cranks but does not fire.

tmont2... when your car finally dose start dose it run really rough for a few secs.? that would be a head gasket leaking coolant into the cylinders when cooling down and wont start untill it leaks past your rings into your oil.

It does not have any coolant in the oil. What about the miss between 1500 and 2000 rpms. What might cause that. The issue with not starting for about 10 minutes might not happen for a month, no consistancy. Same with the miss problem.

a million things could cause that and its so rare it would be hard to test and figure out if you fixed it.

When the engine won't start, listen for whether the fuel pump fails to prime or whether there is no spark at the plugs. Any CEL codes?
