my car has been sitting on jack stands since 9/2005 still starts up on one turn, and idles just fine. with cheap arco gas ($2.25 gallon)

i dont think its the gas. check your main relay, coil, and ignitor inside your distributor

i knew it... gas will still start the car with a very rough idle but it will start it and keep running.


check your main relay, first. since it the most likey cause, you can use any 92-01 civic or integra main relay... use a friends.

doesnt work, then check to see if you have spark. no spark, switch out your ignitor, all 92-01 civic and integra's use the same ignitor..

still no spark. then check your coil all 92-01 civics and integas use the same coil.

You said in your other topic that it's throwing a CEL when you try to start it. Go to this thread and check what CEL you're throwing.
