Why does my Honda Civic not start on the second try?
If it mis-read the code on the first crank, it re-queries the code on the second crank which may very well work on the second try. The key (no pun intended) is to look for the immobilizer light when this happens. That would be the definitive answer on whether or not this is the immobilizer thinking we’ve got an invalid key.
How long does it take a Honda Civic to start?
I have a new Honda Civic. Most of the time it starts right up as soon as you turn the key. Occasionally, however, it will crank for about 5-7 seconds before finally starting.

Why does my Honda Odyssey crank for longer than normal?
A leaking injector is very possible. On a cold start, cycle the ignition key on to off several times. Each time you do that, the pump runs for 2 seconds. If you do that and get instant start, it’s a good bet you have a pressure issue. The question is, where’s the pressure going. My money is on the check valve/regulator.
