98 civic : It was working great for 8 yrs no problems . A couple of days ago after putting gas in and running a few stops . I parked it and the next day It did not start , Like the bendix did not inguage , I changed starter , same problem , i changed main relay , same problem . I do have a full charge on my battery via charger. Is their anything else I can look at. Their is no codes showing (obd 2).
You should probably have your ignition switch changed. I replaced the main relay and the fuel pump, then ignition switch. Then had to have my transmission rebuilt.

if your not getting spark then your coil is the mostlikely cause it's obviously not a timing issue since you stated that the rotor is spinning. if the spark plugs are bad then replace them too . to be sure that your getting spark to all cylinders test each of the spark plugs after replacing the coil. just to besure it's not starving for fuel as well spray a little ether in the breather if it fires off right away that means the even though your fuel pump works it may not have a high enough pressure. let me know the results

you might want to check to see if it has fire if not it is probally the timming belt if it does have fire then you need to chek your fuel pump spray some strating fluid in the intake where the air filter is and if it starts then it probally your fuel pump
SOURCE: Does 1998 Honda Civic have a starter relay? If so, where is it located?
When you tested the battery did you have it load tested? It is possible the battery is good but is losing power overnight due to an open circuit. This will give you the slow crank in the mornings. Once the vehicle has been running and charged the battery back up it works fine the rest of the day. Car batteries provide you with two needed items at start up, Amperage and Voltage. It is possible to have 12 or 13 volts and the battery not be able to crank the motor over because it can't generate the Amperage needed. Your problem is not the Starter Relay, as someone else mentioned if that goes out it will not crank at all. If teh battery has an overnight drain or weak cell it will ahve problems generating the Amperage required and cause your problem. Unfortunately the only way to really identify this will be to let the vehicle sit overnight and then remove the battery and take it to auto zone and have it load tested.
