my civic today had a hard time starting since it was freakin cold!!! (ZC engine_)
i had a few questions what could i do for it to start easier (oil??)
also i was wondering every thing was stiff in my car clutch pedal,shifter was hard as hell! and for some reason some weird grinding noise was coming out of my speed and rpm cluster!? any way just asking if this happens to any one else.!
 
yeah, at me too ... my little accord 94 had a hard time starting too ... and my clutch took like 4-5 sec to get the original point after a shift, until the car was hot ... the shifter too, and my power steering wasn't workin, I had to return the steering wheel in the oposite direction after a turn ! anyways, ****in stupid winther

Actually for cold weather conditions you're supposed to press on the gas pedal abit for easier starts, but let go once it starts;)

By depressing the gas pedal about 1/4" it acts like a choke did on carbs since on cold days there isn't enough air for the amount of gas so letting in a little extra will make the car start up easier. *tu*

My Civic and all my cars I had started with the same technique even
in -45c :bigup:
 
Cold start this morning, a few cranks, started, never looked back. ANd i had less than 1/4 of a tank with original battery. I love my reliability.

isnt the air more dense when its cold outside thus already having more air?
 
moi mon char part surper bien , ya juste les esti de pédales qui sont dur a manoeuvrer au départ tellement sont geler :(
 
moi y part bien..sauf quon dirait que ma batterie va me lacher tant quil crank slow...mais il part apres 2 secondes..;)
 
metter donc un bloc heater sur vos chars sa va aider en crisse !!! jai un accord 1991 comme winter beater pi il part tjrs meme si il fais fraite !!!!!
 
moi jai une accord 92..... et ses pas mon winther beater :( hehehe et Caaaaaaaaalis qui est bruillant quand il part par un foid pareil...... ses fou.... les strap on dirais qui vont petter pis qui roule a sec..... et ma transmission automatique elle griche quand j'embarque le Drive .... ses bizard.... mais bon... ca tuff !!
 
Si mon VW a l'huile ( Jetta TDI 2005) part a -3X degré. N'importe quel Honda devrais partir. Ya pas de bloc eater la dessus pis a part #1.

I always use this technique to start my car! Until today, I never had starting problems... I guess I will have now because I said that!!!
 
My battery is dying on me. I get the famous crank-crank-fire from the good ol H, it starts good all right but it does not have the same vigor when it cranks.

Yes but your car isn't at WOT on start up so the dense air doesn't apply to this mode;) *tu*
