Heyo, I've got a 97 Integra GS with 203k miles on it, bought it from a private seller about a month ago now and just a couple days ago it started having a weird starting issue. When I let the car sit for a few hours, it has trouble turning over. It will try about 5 times and then I stop trying as I don't want to hurt anything, but then I try again and it fires up first attempt. It has not yet just not fired up on me yet, but I'm worried if I let the problem sit, it will eventually not start up. I haven't done anything yet to try and fix it, but I plan on maybe replacing the spark plugs. I am not very knowledgeable about cars, so any advice or suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks!

 

This sounds like a dying ignition coil. If you replace anything replace that! testing it might turn out ok but the intermediate issue seems to be the coil going out. pull of the distributor cap and inspect the ignition rotor for excessive wear or if its loose as well as the contact points on the inside of the cap. A new ignition coil should start the engine right up on the first try!

 

So it appears as though the problem may be something to do with the fuel system as my it fired right up first try this morning when I went to work as well as when I came home, and the only thing that changed was I filled the car up on Sunday afternoon. Any thoughts into what I should look into, or if this is even a problem? I will update later this week if the problem persists when I get the tank low again xP

 

i'll guess fuel pump. the original factory units were craptastic,
mine lasted about 8 years. put in a denso and got 13 years.
just put in a cheapy performance electric from rockauto.
seems ok but tank isnt holding pressure overnight so
denso fuel pump gasket and gates gas cap are next up.
