hey guys,
hope you can help me with this issue.
i brought my 2000gsr civic hatch out of storage a few weeks back.
initially it was idling funny out of storage but that was just normal after
a few months storage... ive since been just starting it a few times a week
for 5mins and letting it sit in the garage since i still have my winter beater...
on with the issue...
the past two days when i started my car it fired up fine..
after driving it around the block and turning it off and starting it again,
it wont start up. it just fires up, and IMMEDIATELY shuts off.
i fire it up again and it dies out again..only after a few tries it starts up again
and holds the idle.
what is the problem? could it be fuel pump? or jumped timing?!
(stock 2000gsr in 93civic; p08 ecu)
thanks
andy

 

How long was it sitting before taking it out. I let my car sit from Nov to April and didnt have any problems with inital start-up. Do you do any preventive maint before storing?

And check to make sure you are getting the correct fuel pressure
