Default 1995 Civic Lx - - - Quick Start When Cooled Down - - - Hard Start When Hot

Well The Topis Is My Question. What Is Wrong With My Poor Honda ? I Think I Either Have A Bad HeadGasket Or My Head Is Warped. But I Thought I Would Ask Before I Came To Conclusions On What I Should Do.

When it won't start, listen in the rear for the low humming noise of the fuel pump priming for a few seconds when the key is turned to ON without cranking the engine.

If priming isn't heard, you might have a bad main relay.

If priming is heard, check for spark at each plug. No spark might be caused by an intermittently bad coil or igniter in the distributor.

Not The Fuel Pump. But I Was Driving It Yesterday, And It Started Getting Hot, Almost Sounded Like The Radiator Cap Was Gonna Blow Off, There Was Steam Seaming Through Radiator Cap. And Other Suggestions ?

Did your dash gauge verify the overheating?

Does the radiator fan turn ON when the engine is hot?

Check whether the coolant level is low. If so, bleed the cooling system. You also may want to replace the thermostat.

Do you see white smoke in the exhaust? Do you see coolant in your oil or oil in the coolant? If you think the head gasket may be blown, do a compression test on the cylinders.
