Check engine wont turn off, engine cant be started

[alain]

Hi.
Need a little bit of advice.
I have a honda civic EK3.
My car check engine wont turn off and I can’t start the engine. I switch on the engine, the check engine and fuel indicators turn on, but it usually takes at least 30minutes before the Check engine indicator turns off, and as sokn as the Check engine indicator turns off, thats the only time i can fully start the car. I usually hear like a “rewinding” or “turning” sound before the Check engine indicator turns off, before I could start the car.
What could be causing the Check engine indicator to stay ON that long?
Or what could be causing the part that does the rewinding sound to “rewind” that long?
Your inputs are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Have you scanned for codes?
