I have a honda civic VP with about 280,000 miles. I just replaced the distributor wires and plugs.
Sometimes the car is having trouble starting. It will crank and try to start but will not turn over. I end up having to wait about 5 minutes and then with a bit of gas it will finally sluggishly start.
I don't think it's the alternator, battrey doesn't die when running, but it is running well. The battery shows a 14.2 - 14.4 when running.
Any ideas, starter maybe. Hopefully something not too hard to change.
I don't want to put too much cash into this car. it's been in the wringer. It was the sacrificial car for 2 of my kids to learn to drive, so its been in 3 wrecks. Two on the front end and one in back.
