Engine Help!
Hey everyone I needed help figuring out whats wrong with my motor. I have a b18 C1 swap into my 2000 civic and it has trouble starting. Every time I turn on my car after letting my car sit for a few hours, the motor struggles to start, then it kicks on. But when I drive the car, shut it down, then start it again about an hour later it starts smoothly. I was wondering if it could be my ECU? or if my regulator isn't pumping enough fuel? Below is a list of what I've done to my motor so far and what I've recently replaced. Please help if you can. Thanks.
Engine: AEM CAI AEM fuel rail and regulator DC headers Replaced recently: Spark plugs and wires power steering pump oil and filter

Re: Engine Help!
Try Fuel Filter, If Its Clogged You Might Need One.

Re: Engine Help!
Im not quite sure if there is a chip in the distributor but i already checked for spark and everything is just fine. The fuel filter clogged? I never considered that....but ill be sure to give it a shot. Thanks for the posts.

Re: Engine Help!
it wont affect spark it just starts to fail then start working again, it is right in the distrubiter cap it self. but this is mostly i guess about you issue, I would also check up on that fuel filter mentioned.
