i got this cx the otehr day and it runs. but when you first crank it up the first time of the day it takes awhile. you have to let it crank for about 7 seconds before it starts. once its starts and warms up starting it up again is no problem. i changed the cap and roor and put new plugs. still did no good. any advice?

thaimonkey

where would i find out more info and the fix for it?. sorry im a noob. hahaha

MidwestSi

call a honda dealership or in the haynes serivice manual for 92-95 SOHC in the first couple of pages there are symptoms and cranking before starting is one and there is a TSB doesnt tell you how to fix it but it has something to do with the fuel pump

thaimonkey

so if i take it to a dealership they should fix it free right?.

No... A TSB does not indicate a free of charge repair.

does it click click or is it just keeps on crankin and turning?

its the check valve in the fuel pump leaking. Happens to all civics at one time or another. You need a new fuel pump and 30 minutes of your time.

ok thats too easy. it cranks and turns but doesnt start. like its not getting enough fuel. imma change the pump and see what happens there. thanks alot
