Hi,
2006 Civic EX starting problem, 94k miles, all servicing up to date.My daughter came to me saying her car was hard to start and that the battery warning lamp stays on.
Tested the car today. Engine turns just fine but shows no sign of starting until 4 or 5 attempts at turning the engine over. Then it fires, stutters a bit and runs just fine. Battery warning light goes off. Car drives as normal until you stop and turn the engine off. Then the same procedure again, it requires 5 or 6 attempts to get it to fire.
Hot or cold start makes no difference.
The battery seemed OK to me but I put it on the charger for 6 hours to top it up. Charged battery made no difference. Battery connections are good.
I will have the engine trouble codes read as soon I can get it to Autozone, but apart from that, does anybody have any ideas, suggestions.
Al Moodie.
