Starter problem?

Ok so each time i turn on my civic it takes a little longer now. It feels like the car doesnt want to start. So is this the starter or something else? So will this break soon or i still have a little time to save up for repairs?

does it turn over? more info.

gas in the tank? soon as i hit 1/3 of a tank mine takes a sec to start

Yea it turns over. and i have a full tank of gas so i don't think thats a problem. But it just takes a while. I have found out when i start it in the morning its harder to start then in the afternoon. I don't know if this is because of the engine being a little warm or not

mileage? done all your maintenence according to your handbook.

yeah i done everything... new timing belt and tires. changed the oil like last week (every 3 months) mileage is 88k and its a 97.

check the plugs, wires, dizzy...etc. i think all cars are harder to start in the morning just because its cold

try checking your valve adjustment and timing, cause i had the same problem, but im using comp cam stage 2, and no its not your starter, if it was it would wine alot with out turning over, or gind as it retracts from the flywheel

gas in the tank? soon as i hit 1/3 of a tank mine takes a sec to start

My 2000 Si does the same thing when the tank gets low... never fails to start but takes its time getting there...

I had the same problem with my civic, for almost 6 months, and it only got worse. I finally gave up on it, because nobody could figure it out. This weekend I replaced most of my electrical system to handle my new audio video system, and my car has never started better. I know it seems weird, but go buy a new battery and throw that in. The little batteries that are put in Honda's will continue to work with as little as 25% of the battery actually functioning. Worst case, it doesn;t work for you, and you take the battery back.

Good luck.

EDIT: Geezus... I just realized how old this thread is... problem is long since solved I'm sure... whoever is digging up these old threads and replying to them with now useless information needs to pay attention to the post dates before adding their own reply.

Well don't I feel like a total idiot. Whoops. Guess I will have to pay closer attention to the dates. Sorry Guys.
