ok so i just picked up a southern 95 civic EX auto that sat for 2 years. It has a new dizzy spark plugs, wires, and fuel filter. When i go to start the car when it is completly cooled.... it will not start. it sounds like that start is just spinning but no cranking over....If i keep giving it gas for about 2 or 3 minutes it will start to crank over.... once it starts up in shakes and miss's like its not running on all 4 cylinders for like 10-15 seconds then it all clears up and runs on its own... When the car is warm or with in an hour of the last start... it will start up just fine.. Any ideas??? Could it be a bad fuel pump, injectors or Fuel pressure regulator??? or is it electrical? and why do i have to keep giving it gas just to get it to start??

 

Any CEL codes?

Have you tried cleaning the FITV on the throttle body?

 

No CEL lights and no i have not tried cleaning the FITV... I will do that today

 

This FITV link may help.

 

Didnt work......any other ideas?

 

Have you put fresh gas into the tank?

Does the CEL work?

When the engine is warm does it run perfectly? Any problems?

When the engine won't start, listen for whether the fuel pump primes and whether the CEL turns on and then turns off after 2 seconds when the key is turned to ON(II). Next check for bright white spark at all four plugs.

 

It has fresh gas in it..Yes the CEL works i made sure of it... When the engine is warm it runs perfect. The fuel pump turns on and primes for about 2 to 3 seconds like normal.

If it would be easyier to call me id appritiate it...
Thanks
Rudy

 

I would recheck your timing...

 

I think i might have figured it out.... I had a set of vtec and non vtec wires in my garage and I mixed them up... i changed them this morning and had 4 matching wires and it started right up on the first time... RONJ@HT thanks for helping a fellow texas boy out haha
