Intermittent No Start

Hi, just joined, I have a 2012 Civic Coupe, base trim I guess as there is no badging on the back.
my problem is intermittent failure to start. It is completely random, the engine turns as normal but doesn’t fire until several attempts, other times it starts at first turn of the key. My mechanic can’t find anything wrong and no fault codes are set in the computer. Do I have to wait until it fails completely? Regards, Terence.

Re: Intermittent No Start

If you leave the key on for like 10 seconds before cranking does it start better?
