Is the gas level in the tank around 1/4 or lower?

Might have misinterpreted the reply. Do you mean that it cranks slow weather the tank is full or low of are you trying to telling us that it doesn't matter but haven't checked?

Thanks guys even to the smart ass!

If u'd read the title it was just about full of gas when it was happening. Thanks frodo for ur reply as well. I noticed there was some grease on the distributor and just had a valve cover gasket put on I guess they didn't do the complete job and chk. the cap before giving me back my car. I know from exp. that their linked and my civic buddy on the local scene agreed so I sprayed some hondabrite from my bike supplies and let it sit for awhile and maranate starts right up now. Thanks much everybody!

Nowhere in the title or you post does it say anything about the level of the fuel in the tank.
