Hello I am new here, but not new to forums and the automotive world.

Our 07 Civic Ex (auto trans) is hard to start every so often.

We have owned it for almost 1 year and I would say that at least 3 times a month (any condition weather) it will crank and not turn over unitl the third attempt.

I t almost acts like a car that is either flooded or starved.

Other manufacturers I have experinced issues with the spark plug or mainly one of the individual spark plug coils.

Anyone experince this also?

I have been to the dealer twice already, they say there are no codes found and they cannot replicate the issue.

Thanks

 

So everyone's civic start with no issues (totally stock that is)?

 

Welcome to my world. Although ours cranks, kind-of starts, sputters for about 5-10 seconds, then decides to run.

Same thing with the dealer too. It did it to them, but since they can't consistently produce the problem, tough luck on me.

 

hmm wierd,mines starts everytime,but when its really cold,it hesitates sometimes

 

get a battery test done at the dealer

 

I get the same thing before I did anything to the car. Every once in awhile it just sound like it's about to die on the first crank. Then second attemp runs fine. Just had a bad winter with loads of snow, surprisingly I didn't encounter any of the start problems I had the year before. So I don't know, might just be "s--- happens" lol.

 

My brother's civic has a similar problem. My friend suggested putting the key in, turning it to the on but not cranking it. Leave it there for 3-4 seconds, then start the car. Following this procedure, the problem never occurred again. Give it a try...

 

Ive heard this issue on the non si's alot... Friggen honda...
