I have 95 Honda hatchback and yesterday, I cranked it twice and it died right after cranking. The third time it stayed running, while driving a short drive home it lost acceleration. The speedometer dropped and the SRS light came on. Then it regained speed and the light went off. Let it cool off at home again checked the fluids etc. Then it did the same thing cranking again and finally stayed on at third try. Any ideas what this could be would be appreciated?

Thanks-

Check your ignition components, especially your cap. If there is moisture in your ignition cap, that will cause pro-longed cranking. Especially after it sits for awhile. Or when it rains.
