I have a 1989 honda civic it has been sitting for about 6 months it won't start it ran fine before I parked it any ideas. It will try to start with staring fluid but not every time.

If the CEL comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to Position II, then focus on the distributor. Normally, replacing the igniter and coil solves the problem. Apply silicone heat transfer grease to the back of the new igniter.
