Car smart guys I need your
I have a 98 honda civic lx. It has been cutting power when I'm driving. It'll be driving fine and then just cut out of power and the check engine light comes on just for a second and then it's fine.
It also doesn't start sometimes, not every time but every so often. It'll turn over but not start and the check engine light is on and after a little of trying it'll start and run just fine. The check engine light isn't on except for those times.
I have replaced the battery, alternator, idle control valve, and gotten a throttle body service done. And yet it still does it. I was thinking it could be the main relay.
Please help, these mechanics don't know wtf they're doing and I'm tired of spending money on it.
Every time the check engine light comes on the computer logs a code. That code can be accessed with a code reader available at Sears for less than $100.00. Or you can take the car to a Napa parts store and they will read the code for you. Most places who read codes will do it for free.
- Why do guys try to outrace me? Today I was trying to have a nice drive when a guy in a Cadillac gets on my bumper, then side by side with me, rubs his engine, takes off while staring at me going 75 mph? I've had this happen in mini vans, jaguars, camaros, hondas, everything and anything. I drive a Mustang, half the time they can outrace me anyway why should I care and why are they trying to prove something to me? I think it's mean.
- How long does it take for loan max to repossess your car after your loan due date in Ohio? I took out an $800 title loan on my 2000 Honda Oddyssey (188,000 miles) and I can't make the initial repayment amount of $288 on time. How long will it be before they send someone out to repossess my car? I live in Ohio and I'm really afraid they will repossess it before I can come up with the cash.
- Do you need someone to start your car when you go on vacation (winter)? One of my roommates is going on vacation for a week and has asked me to start up their car and let it run for 10 minutes every day. I think they are worried about their battery? It is winter, 30 degrees F, some snow on the ground. It is a regular 2015 Honda sedan. I've never heard of this and tried to find some articles but am not finding clear answers. Is this necessary or beneficial to the car?
