Hi Guys,
Thanks to you all. The car started yesterday already with your help.
Just want to make an update or share information on this if in case
another civic owner encounters the same problem.
What i did was clean the spark plugs first. I smell gas on the sparks
when i remove them from the engine so it made me think it is true that
the injectors are sticking open and leaving gas more than enough the
engine needed.
Holla, just after turning the keys to start, the Engine STARTED
nicely.
Then I added the injector cleaner as Jim and Curly mentioned here, and
the following morning - the engine started smoothly. Thanks to you
all.
regards,
Jeffrey
