QUOTE(celciuz @ Jun 11 2020, 12:11 PM) If battery is good, Civic's fuel pump failure is pretty notorious. Are you by chance a Shell user? Specifically 97? shell 95 only .... oh my, really hope not fuel pump, sounds expensive

QUOTE(celciuz @ Jun 11 2020, 02:37 PM)  sorry bro I wasn't aware of the 2008, thought I saw 2018! Uhh, if can't start... depend on the sound... but if your car is 2008, might be other potentials. I mean, car is old so... not surprising if other components are faulty. workshop mechanic say is "gear position sensor". further googling reveal it might be called transmission position sensor / transmission range switch / park neutral switch. he wanna charge RM500+ for the parts to be shipped to east malaysia here. and I totally not sure which part will work from lazada. dayum.... ps: there's a video on youtube showing a honda with this occasional no start symptom, he said is this transmission range switch thing.

QUOTE(leewaihoe @ Jun 11 2020, 09:48 PM) Hey dude. I had this issue when I was driving my FD2. Normally just have to wiggle your gear around while starting the car. I learned to live with it for 4 years. Sometimes it doesn’t even detect any gears, when is when I pull up the flap above the gearbox and push in with a screwdriver to release the lock. Sorry I don’t have pics anymore, but I hope this was helpful. Thanks for the info mate.
