    Has anyone ever had this problem when you get in the civic and the starter
    just cranks the first time and then you turn the key off and then turn it
    back on and it starts? I have had this problem on my civic and my brother
    had this problem on his 2002 civic ex and even when I used to have a 1999 ex
    v6 accord that I bought new it had this happen a few times, but now like
    this civic. This seems to happen 2 times a month maybe, sometimes it also
    does this thing where it starts on the first time, but when the engine
    catches it vibrates alot and for a second and then is okay. I have a 2002
    Civic ex, automatic and there is 17,000 miles on it. I use regular unleaded
    and every 3 months I use a fuel injector cleaner like gumout, and change the
    oil. I do half city and half highway driving. This seems to happen more in
    hot humid and weather, but has happened in the winter also. It makes me
    nervous when it happens and I was going to have it checked, but I didn't
    know if this is just a Honda quirk, as I am starting to think it is now. I
    have owned Nissans, Mazda's, gm and ford and only Honda has done this so
    far.

    Thanks,
    John
