Hello all,

I recently came into possession of a 2001 Civic LX with 154k miles. It cranks very strong but right before turning over, I notice a shudder which feels like a motor or pump spinning up which feels like a very low rpm vibration. The car never fails to turn over, but it feels like a problem could be developing. The battery is nearly new and has been eliminated as a potential problem. Could this be a fuel pump issue? If not, does anyone else have any ideas?
