Alrighty here is the situation......whenever I get into my car to start it I put the key into the "on" posistion to hear the fuel pump primer up.....then I turn the key and start it....but then it all of a sudden it boggs down and my car shuts off, the gas pedal isn't responding to me pressing on the gas either......then I try to start it again, now its just turning over without starting at all, then I have to wait about 2 min for the fuel pump to be able to primer up again, then try and start it. Then the same thing happens the first time I tried to start my car......then I play the waiting game again, when i try to start it, I press on the gas pedal until its revving at like 6K ...then I just leave it idling there. It literally takes me about 4 to 5 min. to start my car......getting frustrated here....someone please help...thanks in advance

check fuel filter and injectors... that's what it sounds like at least... could also be bad spark plugs too widely gapped

i just changed my spark plugs last year and they are NGK so they are pre-gapped right?

Maybe the fuel pump is going, or you have a leak in the fuel line. But that's weird that it would work then not work.

I'm having a similar problem with a 91 civic 4 door lx. The battery is dead, but it will start from a jump. It seems to idle ok, then when I put it in drive and move a few feet, it will stall out.

I haven't figured out why yet, but when I do, I'll let you know what the problem was. Maybe it will be the same thing.

did you check you main fuel relay?.....sound like it might be the problem(from what i just saw on another post)

could be timing... I mean if you are getting it started does it quickly idle and then shut off or can you get it to even idle at all? Maybe could be a bad IACV causing surges.

Sounds like your main relay is going bad.

well when i do get it started it starts to idle at like 4K then it goes to like 2K, then it just keeps going up and down from 4K to 2K....its really weird

i would think main relay or MAP sensor. if you unplug the MAP sensor the car does the same thing. I would put money on one of those two things though. good luck
