I have a 2001 civic with approx. 90k miles. At times it only cranks but doesnt start. It takes a couple of tries and then im on my way. This has been happening for the past 2 months and does it maybe 3 times a week or so but this week its become more frequent..... Once its on, it runs like a charm.. Any ideas ??

Thanks

Hows the battery?

 

When the car refuses to start; can you still hear the fuel pump come on before you try starting it?

 

Never crossed my mind that it could be the battery..I'll get it checked..

Thanks

 

Not sure.. I'll keep an ear open next time.. Thanks for the tip
