ok guys.i'am having trouble starting up the civic.its really cold outside and lastime i warm it up was like 2 days ago.so now it does'nt want to start.its gettin the crank like it wants to starts but just gives up.i even put new battery and jump start it with another car,that did'nt worked.how do i fixed this cold start..thanks

 

like it will turn over but then not start?

 

the motor is stock.correct,it turn over but does'nt want to start.u think is the sparkplug?

 

If I read it correctly, you had no problems running it 3 days ago?
I don't think your plugs would just go out on you like that.

I would go through the basic checks for fuses, fuel, spark, etc.
If all checks out, then look at grounds, timing, etc.

How cold was it outside anyway?
Could it have been so cold to freeze water in your block?

 

damn yo..i pulled the car inside friend garage.then check the wires and it got some green corrison on wired.i remove the disutubertor cap to clean them off but the small pin on the cap broke off.if i buy a new distubertor cap,does it come with the small pin?how much for new cap,i need those.thanks dawg

 

What wires are you talking about, and are you talking about the set screw for the rotor. If thats what you are talking about then yes it will come with the new cap and rotar, also comes with distributor cap seal. But like stated earlier, find out if it is getting fuel and spark. Can you hear the fuel pump prime. Check grounds. Also could be fuse for ELD(electronic load detector) Hope this helps!!!!

 

the sparkplug wire and cap had the green corrison.ya i tookout the cap only did'nt touch nothing else.ya the part had the lil metal ish spring that plug on the cap brokeoff.so is good rite.if i buy new cap it should have it?i find out if gettin fuel or spark and let u know.

 

alrite ya..i replace the disturbtor cap.its warm now.it just sittin in the garage then i try to start it up about 4 times.its cranks but i dont hear the fuel pump prime and its not gettin any sparks.so what ya think it is?what else do i check for?what are the firing order for the sparkplug wire,i just want to make sure i put it on correct?i thinkin is the fuel pump now.

 

Get the thing to spark. Since you ran into some corrosion already, maybe it's time to start checking your grounds and the connectors going to the distributor.

So you can't even hear the 2~3 sec prime when you flip the key from OFF to ON? Likely causes would be the main relay or the fuel pump like you said.

 

when i try to start i don't hear the fuel pump prime for 2-3 sec.i try give it gas at same time when starting.it fires but has no spark.i check-if is fuel?why it has fuel on sparkplug.why u think is the relay and fuel pump?wheres the relay locate?

 

alrite..i tested to see if it got spark.the car is gettin spark and fuel not really sure if i can hear the pump prime but yea is gettin fuel and spark.it cranks but wont fire.before i change new fuel pump what esle to look for?any idea..need help asap

 

bump..anyone?check battery,fuse,spark,fuel is ok.i did'nt really hear the pump prime cause is very quite.it keeps on crank but dont want to start.need help asap.

 

like the other guys were saying, its either fuel, spark or air. one of those three is out if a car wont run. see if one of your buddy's has a fuel pressure gauge and see what kind of pressure you have at the fuel rail. you could also check your compression. im starting to think its the fuel pump, after reading the previous posts. i can hear my fuel pump clearly and its kinda loud. so see if you can check to see how much pressure you got at the rail.
