I have a 98 Honda Civic with only 58,000 miles that has trouble starting. I have replaced the spark plugs,the battery, the fuel filter, and checked the spark plug wires. I have taken it to 2 mechanics and am told it has plenty of spark. After the battery was replaced, the car started fine for about a month. Can anyone help? This is my teenage daughter's car and I don't want her stranded. Concerned Mom from Maine

Hi - With the info I see here it must be a fuel related trouble. Try some isopropyl dry gas and some fuel injector solvents in fuel - at least it would rule that out. It can take a while for them to work so be patient. A day or more may be needed. Note: There is a major difference in dry gas. One only prevents freezing, the one I suggested takes the water out! There is always some water in a gas tank, and the older they get the more there is. Good luck,
