Re:88-91 civic starting problems, common?
 

ya mine does this once in a while too.. Was at a rail crossing and shut the car off. the train was really short and i went to start it and it started right up and instantly died. then wouldnt start. I cycled the ignition on/off with out starting and then it started right up.
