This is an excerpt from an email. It's from a family friend.
It's a Honda Civic '92, 101K miles and looks new.
It stalls without warning 40, 50, 60mph, though the radio, lights and windows work. Three ignitors have been installed in the car in 5 months. The last 2 by the Honda dealer where it is now. In Dec I had the timing belt replaced, distributor O rings, electric fuel pump and ignitor.
They are talking w/Honda corporate who thinks it's electrical. One mechanic said it could be the computer, or electric fuel pump but that was replaced in Dec. ?
I don't want the car back. I think it's a deathtrap. However I can't afford another. For all I know I don't have a car any longer, bec this one may be too expensive to repair. It's really crummy.
Let me know if you have any ideas about it.
