I have a 1990 LX, 173k mi. I just got it last week, and have been having intermitant starting problems... Sounds like it may be the same thing... it is getting more and more consistant though....

upon start up I turn the key to the on possition wait for the engine light to go off and then turn the key to the start position. All I hear is a click under the dash, and maybe the engine attempting to turn over... but nothing... I will attempt again imediatly after and it will start fine... battery sounds strong and it starts right up.... does this sound like the same issue?

Also, there is a hesitation in oil pressure. Engine will tick for a second or so and the oil light will stay illuminated for a second upon startup after sitting overnight... is this typical?? any soulution? i am sure that it is not good... maybe thicker oil???


any assistance is greatly appreciated....
