what could be the problem with my car not starting up on the first crank...everytime i turn the ignition i hear a click sound (coming from starter) but it does not start up until after serveral consecutive tries (approx 10-15x turning the key)...at this moment i checked all ground wires, bought brand new spark plugs, starter is not old, battery is good...as for any relays im not sure where to go about that (location, etc.???)

btw: this has been for the past month...i have not time to attend this problem...but im sick wit it now...so any help would greatly be appreciated...if, so please leave a detail discription...ill answer to any questions...thanks!

 

starter or any ignition wires could be bad/fried.

have starter checked by professional.

check any/all wires going to/from ignition switch and starter

 

can you hear the fuel pump prime? if not check the main relay.

yes i can...i dont think anything is wrong with the fuel...everything is fine...car does run and runs good...its just when i turn off the car and attempt to crank it, it wont ignite off the bat...takes several tries and sometimes it just dont start until i give it a few minutes to sit...(roll starts work when i can)

i dont have an extra starter to test it out to see if this could be the prob i may just pick one up and return it if it does not solve my problem...but im trying to take advantage of this weekend to fix my problem....thanks for the input though...

update...so far i pulled the start out and disassembled the starter just to see if anything is wrong wit it...(i followed the civic manuel i have so i wont mess up)...its all back in and i gave it another crank but same results...
