I have a 95 civic Cx and I recently started having issues with starting the car. I have to turn it over 4 to 5 times before it'll fire. Sometimes it'll start for a moment, then die. Turn it over again, and she's good. Runs like a champ after that. It usually only happens when the car has sat for a few hours.
I checked fuel pressure out of the filter and idling it was at 44psi, revving spiked it up to 50ish, the when I turned it off it dropped to 20. I let it sit for about 30 min and it dropped to 15 psi.
I have not checked the main relay. I'm thinking it's not that because sometimes I prime the fuel pump a few times before cranking and the fuel pump turns on every time. If it was the relay the fuel pump would be intermittent, correct?
