it depends on where you are up country or london but where im am is perfect location, so where bouts you from ..matey...? no one dont know the problem im having yet ....?? or england people nuh welcome in a trini room

I could be wrong, but it sounds like all you need is a good tune up and service including the trottle body and injectors, also you may want to run a diagnostics on it since the car is a bit old and may have bad sensors which cause the cold start.

Are you getting any codes(check engine light staying on).

a good tune up is prolly what i need for sure .. im not getting any codes whatsoever ...but rest assure i got it started. it turns out to be the timing was off so i just replaced the timing belt , now its just the tune up side of things .at stand still idle and park the engine tends to sort of skip a beat as if to stall which on two accasions it did .the idle speed fell well below 300 rpm . using a mac tool tacho/ timing light it was reading 750 to 760 rpm. like you say it need a tune up so i have to take it to honda for them to sort it out i guess ..
respect for the input and be blessed ...

if the timing jumped just like that u shud see if the tensioner is bad.

No codes ? wierd....

Could be the cam timing is off still... u sure you got the right timing belt ?

sorry i aint been back to visit for a few dayz .. but i must tell ya'll that i got the car running . it turns out the timing wasnt spot on but.... theres a light on on the dash a red light- symbol showing like there heat coming off the cat . a secondary o2 densor (b'' sensor ) which is located in the cat it self . bare in mind the this 96 civic carries the 1 wire o2 sensor in the exhaust manifold as well...eh eh the manifold is also crack but i'll have to get it welded some how ....how ever i cant find the o2 sensor in the uk... so im thinking maybe you guys might be able to help me finding this sensor

it doesnt have to be a 'honda specific' cat sensor.
all u need is a 1 wire cat/o2 sensor thats the same threading size as your original. shouldnt be too hard to get once u look for that.

check here http://www.lambdasensor.co.uk/ they should have a bunch of universal ones, plus they are in the UK so you could call to ask them questions etc.

i'll try them but i doubt they can get it ...this sensor look like a needle with one wire ive seen this on the hrv, its screwed into the cat the hole is much smaller the the 02 sensor hole im sure they have the these imports in the caribbean nuff nuff
