| 2009 honda civic gx has an intermittent cold start / hard start / no start problem. it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to eight minutes to get the car to started. on a few occasions i gave up up trying to start the car and drove my truck instead. originally the problem was occuring about about once a week to once a month. i have had the car die while driving and wouldn't restart. since jan 25th 2012 my car has been at the honda dealer for a total of nearly 12 weeks while attempting to correct the problem. the dealer has had my car for the last 9 weeks straight and has been unable to determine the cause of the starting problems. currently it will not start about 50 percent of the time. while my car is fueled by cng (compressed natural gas) i have found numerous 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 honda's with hard start / cold start complaints identical to the problems my car. the only difference between those cars and mine is mine is fueled by cng while the rest of the honda civics are all gasoline powered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzkqqqg9l8w in this video the car had only been sitting 8 hours from when i last started the car. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eict...eature=channel 2009 honda civic cold start problem. in this video i had already attempted to start the car for about a minute or more prior to me starting to video it on my phone. the temperature when i was trying to start the car was 44 degrees though the overnight low was about 35 degrees | |||
