every now and then, mine wont start up on the first try...i take my key out , press the clutch and try again and that works everytime; still should start on first try....i wonder if that has to do anything with the recall

I dunno why but I can feel my rpms get higher every now and then, I can especially hear it when I'm at a complete stop and I hear a different tone in my exhaust.

Maybe that expains why my plugs were carbon fouled after 17K miles. I also noticed how the rpms go up and down sometimes for no reason.

yeah . .I've had 2 different things happen to me, kinda weird. . once it was like the car flooded itself when I was trying to start, so I had to crank it for a long time and it cleared out and started..

Another time, while I was trying to start it the immobilzer was flashing at me. . So I shut the car off, pulled the key out, put it back in and it started..

About the ignition recall, if you aren't talking about the R-Kelly song then no, there aren't any recalls for the 7th gen ignition. .

However, the CRVs just had a recall for the ignition last month, so maybe that's what you heard.

Oh and the R-kelly song. . "I lost my keys to the ignition, somewhere in the kitchen".. hehe. .

the 98 to 00 civics (along with varying years of other hondas) have an ignition switch recall. this is to repair a concern of the vehicle dieing
while driving. the bulletin # is 02-031. call the local honda dealer with
your full vin to have it checked.
