trouble after a tune up (yes, lame i know)
alright, so changed (w/help of a friend) my spark plugs, spark plug wire set, distributor and cap, and fuel filter
problem: this doesn't always happen, but sometimes, i turn the key in the ignition and the car doesn't turn on, like, it feels like it does a half start, cause when i go back and turn it on again, it just bam, turns on.
so what's happening here....or do i need a better discription?

Re: trouble after a tune up (nbcivic)
it could be so many things but the only thing I can tell you is to first re-check your work make sure things aren't crossed, IE the correct firing order and the fuel lines going into the right places, other than that it could be just a coincidence that something went out.

it's possibly something as simple as this.
when you turn the key, turn it to the point right before it actually cranks. wait for the fuel pump to prime, you will hear a clicking and grumbling noise, once the noise stops then crank it.
