Hard start after sitting 10 months....IDEAS!!!

[chrs93]

Ive got a 95 Integra (non-vtech) 1.8. It sat for ten months without starting it. Put new gas and lucas in fuel to clean engine. Car turns over fine, it starts and dies three or four times before it starts and stays running. Once running idles fine. Any ideas what would cause this????

ECU? Probably needs to relearn? Just a guess as I never let a car sit for that long. Lots of things can go bad. Oil not circulating and causes seals to crack.

change your fuel filter and make sure you have a good battery

Yeah, fuel filter is where I would start as well. Basically you should give it a good tune up too. New Spark plugs, plug wires, dizzy cap and rotor, oil and oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, and flush out your coolant.
