i think so... either that or something is up with your alternator... but since ur car is 2k2... so i don't think it's the alternator... it should be the ignition switch. but here is a recall for ur civic... i am assuming that it is a coupe... but i think the sedan are included too... here it is... i just hope no plastic stuff got into ur engine... cuz if it did.. that could be a reason why ur car don't start up right. but hopefully that is not the case...

Recall Alert: HONDA CIVIC
Owner Notification Date: 10/25/2001
Number of Units Potentially Affected: 295
Component Description: ENGINE:OTHER PARTS
NHTSA Campaign Number: 01V329000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description of Recall Campaign:
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. During the assembly process, the
air cleaner box cover may have been damaged, and a broken plastic piece could
travel into the intake chamber.

If the plastic piece lodges in the throttle body, the throttle could stick in a
partially open position. Although the driver can always stop the car by
applying additional brake force, or by taking other actions (i.e., shift into
neutral, turn off the ignition key, etc.), if the car continues to maintain
speed when the driver is expecting it to slow, a crash could occur.

Dealers will inspect the air cleaner box for damage. If damage is found, the
dealer will locate and remove the broken plastic piece, and replace the air
cleaner box lid.
