This may not be the right forum but I'll give this a try...

I have a 92 Civic Si. It's been well maintained but in the last several weeks, on 3 occasions I've not been able to start the car. It turns over but will not fire. Once it was after the car had been driven (~5 around town miles) and the other two after sitting outside all day in parking lot. All three times the car eventually started after sitting for 10 mintues or so.

Is this a spark problem, fuel pickup problem, injectors? Any help is appreciated as I'm not much in the market for a new car nor do I like sitting in the parking lot after work waiting for the car to cool off.

Thanks.

 

How many miles are on the car, and what has been replaces so far.

around 80-100k you should have done regular maintance to include stuff like new plugs, wires, dist cap, timing belt and water pump, and a visual inspection of stuff like CV boots and joints and stuff like that

When was the last time you put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in your fuel tank? You should do it every time you change your oil, every 3000 miles. This will prevent them from getting all clogged and dirty.

if you havn't done any of these maintanance items, then it could be anything you mentioned, or others.

I'm going to copy this to the engine tech forum, so look for it there.

 

take out the dis. and check the dis coil and let us know what the spring looks like...
