Hey all,
i got a problem with my civic. for some reason when my engine is cold my car takes forever to start. Every morning and when i leave work when i go out it usually takes me anywhere from 3-5 mins to get it to start, and when i do the idle is so low it usually stalls a few times until i can get it to actually stays on and starts to idle. if i give it a little gas after i start it up i it sputters and i can hear the intake backfiring. now that its getting colder here in pa, its taking longer to start up. any ideas what it could be

setup - 99 dx 5 spd engine using 98dx ecu + greddy 15g turbo kit, 1 step colder ngk plugs

 

morning crew?

also, using y8 intake mani and y7 tb

 

check and see if you are getting spark and also check your fuel filter it could be really clogged.it will BE one of the things i mentioned.

 

i'll check them out, thanks


also,im using a y7 tb and a y8 im, not sure if its important but only one of my o2 sensors is in my exhaust system, the other is sitting in my engine bay(no 2nd bung on greddy kit)
