    Default 95 civic starting problem

    Ok I have a 95 civic that was over heating the other day due to a burst radiator pipe. I drove it over heat for like 10 to 15 min just to make it home. After that I fix the pipe and now it takes a while to start the car. I was wandering can it be the spark plug or something?

    do a compression test asap. my money is on head gasket. never drive your car with it over heating. pull let it cool, call tow truck, call friend anything is better than driving over heating.
