Hi all,

I bought a brand new Civic VTI-L about a month ago and I'm having an annoying problem with starting the engine when it's warm.

In the morning when I do a cold start the engine fires up beautifully. However, after letting the car cool for about 1 hour and I try to start the engine again, it starts but the engine splutters and the cabin of the car shakes before the RPM goes up and stabilizes.

I searched the forum and found 2 threads with exactly the same problem on Accord Euros:

Has anyone had this problem with a Civic? I've taken it for servicing and all they did was reset the computer and cleaned the throttle. Hasn't fixed the problem.

Should I take it back again or am I wasting my time?

Thanks.
