I have a 93 honda accord it does crank up but it takes awhile to crank up once its crank I don't have a problem with it it rides normal if I stop and cut it off and crank it right back up it will start right up but if I wait for awhile and then try to crank it it wouldn't crank right up it will take awhile. Today I have notice that if I turn my key to the on position and wait for awhile and then try to crank it up it doesn't crank right up like its suppose to but it doesn't take as long to turn over. I have changed the fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel injectors, main relay, starter, distributor, spark plugs, wires, and the coil. I took it to a shop to check the fuel pressure it wasn't as high as it was suppose to be but the mechanic said it was high enough to start the engine right up and he doesn't know why its not starting right up and it would cost me like 250 just for him to find out what the problem is. To me it seems like the fuel is not going to the engine as fast as it should be to make the car start right up but I can't find out what the problem is. Please help I have spent enough money already

Without being able to run some tests my only thought is your ignition switch could be shorting. If fiddling with turning the key makes a difference I'd question the switch, fiddling should not make one bit of difference.

If the CEL comes on for 2 seconds and then goes off, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), I suspect there is a problem with the distributor. Over 50% of new aftermarket distributors for Hondas don't work. The remaining ones are not reliable. Therefore, I would install a genuine Honda distributor housing, with an aftermarket Ignition Control Module and coil to keep the cost down. The problem may reside with the internal distributor sensors (CKP, TDC, and CYL), which are not serviceable.

No I'm not fiddling the key I just turn the key to the on position and let the gas start flowing threw for awhile and then crank it up.

[dfuller0227]

What is the CEL I turn the key to the on position so the pump can cut on and gas starting flowing for awhile and then I crank up the car. It still won't crank right up like its suppose to but seems like it cranks faster that way.

[dfuller0227]

If I don't do that then it takes longer to crank up

[dfuller0227]

Yea I thought about that to with the distributor so I took one off a working honda like mine and tried that and it did the same thing.

Turn the key to the "on" position a few times and pump the gas. Is that helps it you are losing pressure between the pump and engine from a leak. If you let it sit for a while the pressure creeps down and when you go strait to cranking it you have to wait for the fuel pump to re-fill/re-pressure the line to the engine.a mechanic can tell you with about 15 minutes of work and an hour of waiting by putting a pressure gauge on the line and pressurizing it and looking to see if it creeps down significantly within a certain amount of time.

.if that's the problem start replacing the fuel lines
