Car starts intermittently-fuel pump intermittent. 1995 Honda Civic EX coupe
What is your question?
New fuel pump, new OEM main relay, new distributor assembly, new spark plug wires, new spark plugs, good battery.
- Key in ignition, no fuel pump operation heard. Key left in 2nd position right before crank - check engine light remained on.
- Tried cranking several times but no lightoff.
- Tried 30 minutes of recycling the ignition between ACC 1, ACC2 and off and the fuel pump would not come on.
- Tried turning on/off AC blower (it seemed to make a difference before).
- While leaning into the center console, after 10-30 seconds, the fuel pump would eventually come on.
- Car would not lightoff even after fuel pump would energize. Tried this a few times. Eventually it lighted off after the fuel pump started to be heard operating. It seems that only changing the ignition position made no difference. Possibly leaning to the center of the car on the center console (might) have made a difference.
After it finally started... cigarette lighter & radio stayed unpowered. Runs fine.
What makes this problem better or worse?
No - same issue at 60F and 99F
