Hello everyone, this is my first post and I would appreciate some help with my 94 Honda civic.
The issue Im having is that it starts just find every time except that for the last month if I turn it off and try to start it within 5 minutes the engine will turn but it wont start. Yesterday morning on my way to work I stopped at 7-11 to get some coffee, I turned it off, I was out of the car for about 3 minutes and then it wouldn't start. I had to wait maybe another 3 minutes and it started just fine.

Any thoughts on this ?

Thanks guys.

Mike

Tough to do alone and you need to catch it NOT starting to see what's missing. Popular two possible reasons are lack of spark or fuel.

You could have an in line blinking spark tester (use a plug wire) and quick get a fuel pressure reading while it's down,

If unsure do get help and be careful. Just ask at you fav parts house for this stuff. Get some starting fluid and you gotta be fast but if you can spray in throttle body AND reassemble it fast as it's a spark arresting set up too. If that kicks it to fire then shuts down we know it's a fuel problem,
