Default car sometimes takes a couple of turns of the key to get it running..

today i was picking my friend up from school. of course i turned my car off because i saw no relevance on keeping it on. when he came and we ready to head off, i tried starting my car and it wouldnt turn over. now i've had this problem before but it usually just takes about 5-6 times before it finally turns over and im on my way. one time it didnt start at all and i had to have one of my friends push the car while i jumped it in 2nd gear. anyways, was wondering if anyone has the same trouble i am having now. im thinking it might be a bad ignition switch or my spark plugs are just not team players anymore. any suggestions would be helpful.. thanx..


totally different subject, BUT, when can i become a honda-tech member, this trial user is beginning to bug me and i want out!! i got a cool avatar also..

Does the car rev up and then all drop and turn off? if it does i got the same problem but it only seems to be doing it when my cooling fans are running.. hmm weird...

nope. dont have the revving problem. it just sometimes doesnt want to start for me. i try it a couple of times and it doesnt work. i wait a good 10 seconds, go at it again and presto! it works. not sure what the problem is. my first guess is spark plugs, havent changed them in a good bit. i dont think its the ingnition switch either.. thanx for ya input tho!.
