1995 Civic cranks great , won'tr start until ignition is on for a minute Hi, my daughters 1995 civic,98000 miles, cranks wonderfully but won't start. I read somewhere to turn the key to the ON position for a minute and then try it. This works every time. I would love to identify the issue and try to fix this but can't find that original post. Any thoughts? Thanks |
Re: 1995 Civic cranks great , won'tr start until ignition is on for a minute Wildass guess, ECM bad? |
Re: 1995 Civic cranks great , won'tr start until ignition is on for a minute Is it a full minute? I have to turn mine to on and let it sit until the CEL goes out to allow the fuel pump to prime. then it starts fine. I also had an issue where I had to crank the engine for 13 seconds, then start it again. That took a replacement of the ECU to fix. |

Re: 1995 Civic cranks great , won'tr start until ignition is on for a minute Bad fuel pressure regulator. Your regulator is leaking pressure as it sits with no pump on. When you let the ignition sit on for a minute the pump builds pressure back up and it can start. Does it start right away if it's just been running? And not start when it has been sitting for a while? |

Then I paid another for nothing. I would turn my key on and check engine light would remain on solid rather than flashing for a second while I turned the key on. It would not start while light was solid. How long it stayed solid got longer and longer until I would have to wait ten mins to start the car. I changed the computer it worked right away |
Re: 1995 Civic cranks great , won'tr start until ignition is on for a minute You need another ecu. Is the car leaking water there |
