Hi, I've got a Honda Civic EX 2000.
She's old, but she's still rolling and I'd like to get her through another winter but she's being a bit stubborn.
Now that it's cold again, she has trouble starting, so long as the it's fall/spring/summer weather she's all right but once it gets around freezing and she's been sitting for a while, she doesn't want to start. The problem actually started at the end of last winter quite suddenly, but as soon as spring rolled around I forgot about it cause it just wasn't an issue
When I turn the key, I can hear the fuel pump kick in (the hum) and I changed the duel filter this summer, so from my understanding, the fuel supply isn't the issue. When I turn the ignition, she'll make the usual attempting to start noise and it sounds like the starting motor turns it over, but it just won't get going.
So I figure it's electrical. The battery is new this summer as well, so it shouldn't be that. Any suggestions as to how to approach the trouble shooting, I haven't ever had to fiddle much with engine starting problems before. Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks!
