what the f@#$? Posted the message before I wrote it!

Anyways, I've got a 2K1 civic with 30 000miles on it and for the last dozen fill ups the car would not start unless i hit the gas pedal. I brought it in but the problem soon reoccured. Now they've changed the sparkplugs though according to the maitenance schedule they should be good to 100000m. I haven't filled up yet though I doubt it's the plugs.

Any ideas?

make sure you put your gas cap on tight enough. Its supposed to make this clicking sound otherwise your engine won't start.... that's all i can think of
