I have a 94 Civic DX, with 171K miles on it. Anytime I drive it for more than 20 minutes, if I turn it off and then try to start it back up again within 10 minutes, it begins to start once, and then it dies, and then when I try to start it again, it won't even turn over. Any thoughts on that? Thanks in advance.

 

You could try changeing your pcv valve, maybe your alternator's shot?There could be something wrong with your fuel injector, run some seafoam through your gas tank or what I would do is use techron chevron fuel cleaner kinda pricey but worth it imo. Sorry, haven't really heard of that scenario befor, just suggestions.....

 

maybe some new plugs and wires?

 

Yeah, I got put new NGK spark plugs and Accel plug wires in there, and I thought that solved the problem. the car worked fine for about two days, and then finally quit. Turns out it was the distributor, and apparently those are hard to come by for a 94 DX. Anyway, I haven't had my car in like a week, but I hope that this fixes the problem. I had a new alternator and a new transmission put in less than 600 miles ago, so I would be surprised if those were already messed up, but we'll see.
