my 94' civic is very slow cranking. it strats everytime but it just takes longer then normol. is this the starter go out is it an electrical problem?

 

How long is a long time? If it cranks and doesn't sound like its grinding (probably not the right sound -- can't think of a better word), then the starter doesn't seem to be the problem.

Could be a fuel problem. I have sorta the same issue. Cranks longer than I think it should before starting, but I haven't been able to nail down my reasons either.

 

i mean long by like 4 or 5 seconds. varies sometimes but thats average

 

Bad battery. Get it checked at autozone for free.

 

yeah battery issue. if you can open the cells on your battery you can put some water in there or you can actually buy fluid that might help. or you can just buy a new battery.

 

Low gas=longer cranking time to start. There have been dozens upon dozens of threads about this.

If it does it on a full tank, then it's a different issue.

 

it was a bad battery. got a new one at costco for $35. starts great now. thanks

 

Glad you got it fixed! :thumbup:
