[QUOTE="prodigy, post: 1996012, member: 232"] Hi guys, I'm driving a local EJ Civic model without any modifications, except that i have an amp and woofer. I won't even consider that modifications. Anyways, last time i use to have this problem, that is when i crank up the car, the engine just wouldn't start. The car goes dead and then you have to crank a few times before the engine starts. Then when i serviced the car, changed the plugs, the mechanic added just a simple 15cm long cable in which he says is a grounding cable to improve cranking. It helped the ignition for like 6 months and lately, i'm suffering from this problem again. At times, i have to crank like 5-7 times before the engine starts. I just sent to another mechanic and he says its not the battery problem, as itsx 1 year old only. He says i need to add another bigger grounding cable. I just don't think this is the solution as the first time i added the grounding cable, it only reduced this problem and not fixed it. Right now its coming back and i don't wanna be adding like 30 more grounding cables, i wanna solve the problem once for all. Today the mechanic wanted to charge me RM30 for a short grounding cable, that is probably worth RM5. He says its common for EJ/EK Civic to have ignition problem. I just told him i will consider. Meanwhile, i hope you guys can give some opinion on this ignition problem. Who has similar experience. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
