It depends on what you mean by a 'link'. There are similar reasons behind each one. Both involved a King doing something that angered their subjects. In the case of the Gunpowder plot is was the refusal of James I (James VI of Scotland) to give equal rights to Catholics. This page will explain it in detail- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_plot In the case of the English Civil war, there were many factors; mainly it was about the King (Charles I) having too much power over parliament. There is a lot more to it than that, have a read of this- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_civil_war If you mean a link as in did the gunpowder plot trigger the Civil war, then no.
