My civic has been having this problem, but I never bothered until today.

Whenever it shuts down, I have to wait about two minutes to start it up again. I won't start, the harder I try, the less likely it will start.

Guesses?

when you say shuts down you mean when you turn it off? whens the last time you did a tune up. sorta need more info.

Yes, I meant turn the engine off. My video card just broke on me, so I'm on computer terminologies
I changes spark plugs regularly, it has relatively new MSD wires, valve clearance adjusted a year ago. But anyway this problem occurred a while ago until now, nothing has changed.

Cold start is NEVER a problem, starts in 1-2 cranks.

anyone?

My car does that. I believe you lose fuel pressure or something like that when the car shuts off and is restarted too quickly. Most of the eg generation civics have this problem.

next time when you turn it off, right away prime it 2 times, key in II then turn back and put key in II and then start, try that
