I currently have a 96 honda accord. It is a 4 cylinder engine and is standard transmission. My car sometimes will start on first try, but most of the time it takes at least 3 or up to 8 times before it starts. It always cranks and all the lights come on, so I am not sure what might be wrong. I don't believe it has anything to do with the weather either. If someone could post possible explanations before I take it to the dealer ship. I'm afraid they may try to rip me off.

Thanks

When your car doesn't want to start - check to see if it's missing gas or spark. It will lead you in the right direction.

Unless you mean you just have to crank it for a bit longer for it to start.

When were fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs last changed?

I had my air filter changed about 2 months ago. But I don't recall when I had my fuel filter and spark plugs last changed. Roughly how much should this cost??

If you lived in Croatia (where everything is expensive), it would cost you around 60$US.
