about a month ago i got my oil changed... after 30 mins of driving after i got it, i turned the car off, came back 10 mins later started it and it died a few seconds after... tryed starting it and it wouldnt... got it started and it woulnd rev. over 4k. after runnin it for a lil bit it seemed fine. i thought they might have put too much oil in.. so i wasnt too worried. anyway.... a week ago i turned off my car and then started it about 2-3 mins later and it did the same thing... i let it sit for about a min. then it was fine... then yesterday the same exact thing... anyone know why this is happening??? it seems like it only happens when i turn off my car then start it up again in the next few mins (5-10 mins).. anyone??

 

how many miles on the car? batt. starter?

 

130k on the car, its a 94 integra ls. its def. not the batt. or starter cuz it cranks and cranks but no start

 

you change your fuel filter lately?

 

no, i think i got it done with the 90k mile tune up, but il try to change it next week. is it easy just pull it out and put the new one in??

 

check plug wires, also possible that it could be the indistributor coil.

 

i dont see how changing the oil would do this unless you did put too much oil. you might have blowby, but i dont see why you would have those problems. check your oil level with the dipstick. if your oil is good.. it might be your spark plugs, wires, or fuel. possibly your oil filter.

 

il check my plugs and wires but, it cant be the filter cuz i changed it and its still happening

 

Distributor?
Ignition system?
Fuel Injectors?
Fuel system?

Just wondering... you dont change your oil yourself? Just wondering cause its about the easiest thing you can do...

 

heh, bite your tounge

changing oil, in my book ranks almost with pulling the engine, on a scale of cost to have it done/vs doing it ones self.

brake pads, easy, spark plugs, no pro, wires, cap, rotor, no problem at all. oil change? hassle and a half. I'd rather spend the $25 every 3k miles and have someone else do it at the dealer.

 

hehe same here but then again my dealer only charges 13$ for an oil change so its deffinately worth the money

 

Only takes 20 minutes how bad can it be? THat is like paying someone almost $60/hr to do something easy.
