Well, THAT is a mistake.

DON'T try that again; you'll flood it.  Turn the key, wait, then crank
it.

You might try the flood/cold start technique:
hold the gas pedal down about 1/4 of the way; DO NOT pump it to the
floor, or pump it at all; just hold it part way down while cranking.

I've had a honda dealer make do their "performance oil change" which
consists in adding an injector cleaner. Anyhow, it cost me 90$ so I would
presume that even though they are bozzos, they wouldn't rip me off . Any
how, other than that, I've tried to put the key on the II position where the
pump turns on. I've done that 3 times in a row to give the pump a chance to
push the gas to the engine, but no change at all. It still take around 6-10
cranks. more like 8. I did notice however today that I started my car for
the first time around 11am and thus the temperature was hotter than the 6 or
7am that I usually leave for work. And today it started maybe after 5
cranks. seemed better but still. it's 2-3 cranks generally another time
during the day or evening

Would it do harm to buy myself an other bottle of cleaner if the dealer
actually already did that. (since I don't even know the dealer actually did
add the cleaner !!!)

My car has 67000km, and the manual says the spark plugs are good for
something like 100000+km, is that true? should I actually change them or is
the problem totally injector related

Here's a tip: Turn the key to II (on), but NOT to III (start). Leave it
like that for eight to ten seconds. Now turn it to III. Does this speed
things up?

I just bought a used 2002 4 door, automatic civic LX, low mileage and would
like to know what might be a probable cause with starting the car. Anytime I
try to start the car when it has been off for a good night, it will take at
least 6 to 10 starter revs before the cars starts. However, if I restart the
car a few minutes after or even after a few hours, the car starts normally
within 2-3 starter revs. I thought that I might have a fuel issue that when
the car has been sitting for the night, gas would go back into the tank and
it would take a few starter revs before the gas came back to the engine. Is
there something I should have checked. Fuel pressure regulator, leaks ???

I naturally asked the dealer about this and they just replied that was
normal. Screw them, I know that 6-10 starter revs is too long for a car to
start. I would live with that during the winter below freezing but not
during this time of year. Any help or guidance would be appreciated
