Default 20 second hesitation in 98 Civic. Start the car, drive... hesitationfor 20 seconds then fine.

My 98 civic has had this problem for a while where just after starting
(sometimes a minute) idle will get very jumpy. It is like the car is
going from 3 cyl to 4 cyl, or just not getting enough gas for a few
seconds... but the problem only lasts about 20 seconds. Any Ideas?

ignition switch. take all the junk off your key ring and make sure the
key returns to the full "run" position after starting. then call your
honda dealer to schedule your free recall switch replacement.

Put a can of Techron injector cleaner in the gas and make sure your
coolant reservoir is full to the =MAX= mark.
