Can my 2002 Honda Civic last a 2 hour/ 118 mile road trip?

I have a 2002 Honda Civc Lx, it's been through quite a number of owners; I believe 3-4 including me and my brother. It has about 220,450 miles on it. For the year I've had the car and the years my brother did, it hasn't ever broken down or anything. Oil changes and maintainence has been kept up fairly well and overall, the car is pretty reliable. The only thing is that I was told that the car might overheat during the trip. I plan on avoiding this by driving early in the morning/ late at night. With all that said, would my car be able to make the 2 hour/ 118 mile trip?
(I live in Arizona and I'm going from Tucson to Phoneix if that serves any relevance.)

Removing water pump pulley in 2006 Honda Civic LX?

Accidentally hit submit on previous question.

I need to replace my belt tensioner. I have removed the alternator, but the bolts on the swiveling water pump pulley are very difficult to get to and its nearly impossible to get a good grip and remove the bolts.

I've watched videos, read forums, and looked for manuals online. No one directly explains it for the 1.8L on an '06 Civic.

I can't remove the tire/tire mount like on some cars because my water pump is positioned in a different way than most.

I need to fix my car. Any ideas on tools and whatnot? Also, I can't "remove" anything that may be in the way. The car itself is in the way.

I don't want to remove the entire pump.

Honda replaced my serpentine belt but my car is now taking longer to crank?

Honda recently replaced my serpentine belt (2012 Honda Civic, 185k miles).

I noticed that on cold starts, the car takes longer to crank and then eventually starts. Sounds like it doesn't want to start but then does.

I will take it to Honda but I'm just curious what this is likely caused by? Loose belt? Tight belt? Pulley issue?

No noticeable squealing, just the crank time. Instead of the usual 1-3 seconds, now my car takes about 3-5.

How to test a catylictic converter without it being connected to a car?

Last year I bought an 02 Honda Civic LX and this year it needs to be smogged. When I bought the car as is, the owner gave me the Catylictic converter along with the car. The thing is that he told me the cat converter still works, however is there a way to test it before I have a professional install it that way I'm not wasting time and money buying a brand new one and having that installed?

Currently it doesn't have a cat and I know that it is illegal. Who exactly enforces that? If I take it to a certified smog place and have them install the cat converter and they find that my car didn't have one since I bought it, do they have to report that to the DMV? The last thing I want is to pay an outrageous fine for not driving it with a cat converter? I don't know if it varies with state rules or anything, I live in CA.

Walmart oil change gone bad?

On 12/15/12 at around 1:00 PM I went to walmart super center tire and lube. There was a long line of cars. A man greeted me. Telling me that I would have a wait of 1hr 30mins. He tried selling me all this extra stuff for my oil change. And I just declined it and said I just need an oil change. I went shopping around walmart for 1hr then came back to the auto center. My car wasn't even worked on yet. Almost all the men in the garage were staring at me and acting real shady. It made me uncomfortable and I kept getting up to look out the window to see what they were doing but they parked my car close to the end of the garage and I couldn't see much past my hood. Because they had two cars in line at once.It was taking them a good while to finish a simple oil change. The technician who greeted me came in and said sorry for the wait but we can't but we can't do your oil change. I was like why? And he said he didn't want to take the plug out to ruin my car… (Mind you, I'm not very good with cars I'm a 19 year old female college student. I also have a 2000 Honda civic that I bought from a trusted mechanic) I was like ok ill leave. Then a minute later he comes in and says Nevermind he got it out were going to do an oil change. I was like are you sure? He said yes. My fault for trusting a crook. Soon my car was done. The two men that had worked on my car left before I saw it. When I went outside I was suspicious so I wanted to see what they did. I went to open my good and my latch was completely broken off! I walked into the garage and a technician called the manager. The manager told me to go to a Honda Dealership and ask them for an estimate of how much it would be to fix it. And bring it back for a claim. She also told me they put on my old plug because they didn't have the right size for the new one. Later my car is leaking tons of oil and when I stop the engine is rattling! I don't know what to do. I read about walmart oil changes and I'm terrified thy won't honor my claim!
