Car having trouble starting?
I have a 2004 Honda civic with 240k+ miles on it (getting a new car soon) and today I tried to start it and it did not start. But after a second try It started and ran fine for the rest of the day. Later I tried starting it and it started but it was rumbling and having trouble. Eventually after several seconds it started up and sounded kinda normal till the check engine light came on immediately. Last time this happened I had 3 misfires and had work done on it. (Cost me like almost $1000). Anyways I believe it's not the starter since I've had that replaced TWICE in the past 2 years. What could be the problem? I'm scared to drive it. Could the same thing be happening?
Well. Your fuel pump is certainly suspect with those miles. They usually last between 100-150K miles. I don't know what costs $1,000 to fix a misfire, but I have to assume you have a new ignition system. Which is a good thing. Get some Starting Fluid and the next time it doesn't start spray some into the intake where the air filter is. If it starts right up you'll know it's a fuel delivery problem. But you really should let a mechanic troubleshoot the intermittent no start.
- Is trouble shooting a helmet lock the same as trouble shooting a key stuck in a door? I have a Honda VFR and the key is stuck in the helmet lock. Its all the way in and turned slightly but won't budge. I just need to know if i should try lube before i call a locksmith.
- Every time I stop to get gas in my 2003 Honda element, it has trouble starting? My car recently had a completely new engine put in and now when I get gas it takes a few tries to get it started. So I put a new battery in and now I have to put my foot on the gas pedal while starting it for it to start. But it's only when I stop to get gas this happens. Every time other than that it starts just fine, no problem at all. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?
- Having a hard time starting my car. What could it be? I have a 2000 honda civic. I have an exhaust problem, and every morning when I go to turn it on its takes a while. I have to turn the key like 4 times before it actually starts up. At first it chokes up while trying to turn on… Any ideas as to what I can do?
- 2005 honda civic went from having heat only when you are driving to having no heat? Have replaced thermostat twice, replaced the water pump, the heater core and the low idle valve. The system has been flushed ever time. It's went from having heat when you moving to having no heat at all.
