1995 Honda Civic Won't start cold/damp
Starts fine when it's hot and/or dry, but when raining or cool, it just cranks.
I saw some of the previous questions on this same issue, but have been unable to determine what the issue is. I replaced the plugs and wires and removed the distributor cap. Everything inside the cap looked dry and very clean. I sprayed WD-40 inside, wiped, applied grease to the seal and replaced the cap. Then I noticed that when I touch the center of the cap when the car is running, I feel a shock. Does this mean that the cap is losing charge and needs to be replaced or would you recommend replacing the entire distributor assembly? I have about 125000 miles on it. Thanks, |

I have a 1995 Honda Civic that when you turn the ignition to start the car nothing happens. However, the lights and the radio work I just can't get the engine to start.

I know it sounds weird, but it's true. When it's cold and foggy, the engine turns & turns, but doesn't catch. When I come back at lunch, or if it's warm out in the morning, she starts up and runs great. Any ideas?
How would I tell if the ignition switch is bad?
Hi, my '95 Honda Civic first wouldn't start about 2 weeks ago; it had sat for 2 days in sub freezing WNY weather (less than half a tank of gas), and wouldn't start. Battery is new and was turning, so I thought it was perhaps frozen fuel lines. I added some gas and some Gas X product, and after a...
