car wont start
I have a 91 civic with a b18a. The car started "missing" about 2 years ago when I parked it. Now I went to start it up again and it will crank over and try to start ONLY when you first turn the key on and let the fuel pump prime. The car seems to getting fuel because you can smell it and the plugs are wet. I cant tell if its getting enough spark because i cant crank it and watch the plug at the same time.
Im thinking its a distributer issue...?

Re: car wont start
Thanks for all the suggestions but I got it figured out.
Shot alittle starting fluid in it and fired right up. Now it starts up every time, no problem.

Re: car wont start
I think I narrowed down the idle surge to the fast idle valve. Im gonna take it off tomorrow and clean it to see if it fixes the problem.
