Just started my 1998 Civic hatchback after sitting in my driveway for 8 months. Was not doing this before last year. Suggestions on cause? https://robgallocom-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/rob_robgallo_com/EfkU-EztlQxKob37bfIpDKMBC1dLrA_HIyyxFX36w09qcQ?e=S7ywceBrand: HondaModel: CivicYear: 1998

The engine control module maybe lost its configuration and stored data if the car battery was dead. It may help to just keep driving for a while, and reinstall that air filter ;) Just check and ensure all fluids are fine
