Default Civic EG D15b2 engine,starting problems

The problem is the strangest u ever saw

if the car is parked more then approximately hour/hour and a half needs like 6-7 sec. to start

if it's turned off then started in about 15-20 mins it starts before u turn the key :D

same if it's parked more then 2 hours

i don't know where to start troubleshooting for the problem...

A cold start issue on an EG civic probably is the weirdest thing I've seen in the EF forum. I believe most people will throw this up to distributor timing, IACV, FITV, or something like that. May need a tune up. When was the last time you had regular work done?

well yea, maybe fuel pressure is the prob. cause i have an update

if u try to start it after 20-30 mins. parked,sometimes starts but it works on 300-400rpm chokes u know... and after pressing the gas pedal 3-4 times it comes to normal

maybe it's the fuel pump...cause i drive it on lpg,but always look to have about 1/4 fuel tank filled

Fuel pressure should come right up when the system is primed.
It should then stay up for a very long time unless you have a leak which would then show your fuel pressure dropping off within a few minutes.

probably it's the spark plug gaskets(valve cover gasket)

spark plugs get in oil and the starting is hard

i'm waiting for honda OEM gasket,and hopefully that will solve the problem,don't like that ebay gaskets
