    Car start only with gas peddle pressed, Why?
    I've been having trouble with my car (honda civic) and the only way I could get my car to start is by pressing on the gas all the way down. Why won't my car start w/o doing that?

    It may indicate a problem with the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor.

    I'm not sure where the TP sensor is. What am I suppose to look for? When I turn on my keys to on the battery lights and oil lights stay on. What does that mean? I already went to autozone to check the battery and they said it was still good. I recently replaced my distributer. Could it be that I don't have enough oil in my car?

    If its an old car it could just be a bad choke on the carb,, or a cold start going out. I had a 90 model mazda truck and had the same problem the whole 3 years I owned it. I also had a 89 corolla same thing, they both were problem free.Good Luck. Just trying to make you feel better about your problem.

    Thanks for making me feel betta. I got it fixed this weekend. I fixed my starter a couple of months ago, but it seems like the starter they gave me was bad. So I replaced the starter and the battery. The old were both from autozone. Don't go there. They suck haha but thanks a lot! :p
