Q: Warm start problems 2000 integra gs
Hi I have a 2000 integra gs and only sometimes on a warm start it won't turn on, I can hear the fuel pump turning on and the car keeps cranking, have a 2 month old distributor and new wires and spark plugs btw, and so I usually have to sit for 20 mins in the parking for it to finally start up and when it does start it idles up to 2000 rpm and doesn't drop down until 10 minutes later down the road, cold starts are perfect warm starts are where the problems come in, can seem to find the problem and I hate driving to car meets cause I'm embarrassed to have my car not wanna turn on in front of everyone
