Hey there,

I've noticed that after my car has been running and gets up to normal temps, shut the car off, and try to start, it won't start. I have to let it sit for about 5 minutes and then try. What should I look out for? Is this a known symptom of anything?


EDIT: Typo on the title, changing it does nothing...nooob!

 

myn did that had to let it cool down dizzy took a **** or should i say the coil did?
could be something else dont get me wrong?

 

Anyone?

Could be a main relay problem. Can you hear the fuel pump priming when you turn the key to position "II"?

 

Could be as simple as a bad battery or shitty grounds. Starting a car when it is warm takes the most effort out of your starter and battery.

 

We have the same problem with a 91 civic hb. It is really weird, the car starts up and runs/drives great for about 20 minutes. Then, it starts to run like crap and bogs really bad(to the point that the car is undrivable). After it cools completely down, it can be driven again. We switched out the fuel pump and nothing changed...

That actually sounds it's a different problem. The OP is complaining that it is hard to start the car if it is warm.

 

hum...intresting i have the same problem when its warm and i try to start it it lags....help???

 

Hmm, how do I test to see if it is the main relay?

And yes, I do always here the fuel pump priming when I have the key in the run position.
