- Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:42 pm #95242 Idk what the problem is? I turn the car on and it turns over and cranks up and then it just dies as if I took the key back out? Then I have to sit there for
like 5 min so that way it can "charge" so I can start it. Help me out what could it be?

- Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:52 pm #95247 What do you mean by "charge"? will it not turn over again after it dies? i had a similar issue in my old hatch, turned out to be the Distributor cap. but it didn't have issues turning over

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

- Tue Feb 17, 2009 6:51 pm #97029 When ever i start my car it works fine.... but if i drive for a bit and turn my car off and 10 mins later i try to start it again.... my car does the same exact thing... I will have to say its probably the fuel pump... when you put your key in and turn it ( dont crank the motor).... do you here the fuel pump activate? my civic has 171k miles on it and im sure the pump has never been changed.... thats my 2 pennies

- Wed Feb 25, 2009 11:21 pm #99012 iT could also be the main relay cause my car does that sometimes... It has to do with the soldering, inside the relay the solders seperate ....Ive been to lazy to get the relay out and fix the soldering..... Just try narrowing it down first are u getting fuel, checking to see if u get spark... Always check the littlest thing.. Maybe ur ICM is starting to go bad --- U can always test them, check the dizzy cap like Gorveatt said then u could check the ICM u can take it to a Autoparts store like Autozone or Kargens and they will test it for free... Hope that kinda Helps.
