My 1991 Honda Civic SI has developed a problem starting. After running errands around town, I return to the car, and attempt to start it. It will start and then idle for ten seconds, then act as if it is starving for fuel-then die outright. A minute or so later it will restart and continue to drive normally. What gives?
