Tonight my car had been sitting all day, I drove about 5 minutes to a gas sation and got gas. Afterwards, my car cranked, but didn't start. I tried it twice, then I tried to call my wife. I couldn't get her, so I got back in and tried it and it started right away.

I drove home and now it's starting no problem.

I thought maybe I didn't have the clutch pedal in all or in gear or something, but I cannot get it to duplicate the crank/no start senario.

Any ideas? Should I be worried? Or am I just paraniod? Ironically I paid it off the other day and got the lean release today!

(It's an 02 Civic Si with 55,000 miles and a 5 spd)

Thanks,
Scott

Its a starting problem. Why does it matter?

Im guessing you didn't have the clutch in all the way. That or a fuse is going bad. Check under your hood if you're that paranoid. Check the big ones. Some fuses have been known to blow half-way.. so they still get some sort of power through them.

Well he may get better results from people with a similar make and model as his. Could be a common problem on those cars...

 

It's not a commmon problem with the model, but it could be your starter...sometimes when they are starting to go they have a bad spot and if it is at that spot it will not start right away!

 

he does have an EP3...

 

yea my ep3 does it once in awhile. it works after a minute or two... maybe its fuel pressure, but it seems like a common problem
