Hi everyone,
I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with my lady’s 2014 Civic EX, 1.8L. I tried the 9th gen forums but they are super dead. I am sure there’s a lot of former 9th gen owners here and it seems like there’s a lot of activity and knowledge on this board.
I have a 2016 Mustang GT, formerly a Focus ST so I have dabbled in the hot hatch world and ALMOST ended up with an SI before the ST was purchased.
Here is what I posted on the 9g forum, any help would be appreciated:
Every few starts, it turns over for longer than normal. It’s not a WEAK start like a bad battery (battery was replaced +/- 6mo ago). The speed of which the engine turns over is fine. It just takes about 1.5-2x as long before the engine actually fires. It tends to do this after it’s been sitting long enough to partially or fully cool down.
It has 174k (approx). I’ve read the fuel pump/filter are non serviceable. I can hear the pump prime when the ignition is on accessory mode. Regular maintenance has been kept up.
In browsing, it seems like people are pointing at the battery, alternator, starter or fuel pump.. possibly fuel regulator.
Pretty confident I can rule out the battery and alternator. The starter doesn’t run slow or have issues engaging. The fuel pump primes and the car doesn’t miss and doesn’t appear to be down on power (although, it’s not exactly a race car). No check engine light.
