Cars & Transportation - 23 August 2006

Greetings. I ran my 93 Honda Civic DX out of gas, luckily in my driveway. I'm not very mechanicly enclined, I've consulted my Honda manuel. I've consulted my Haynes book, neither of which really give any information on what I need to do aside from refueling the vehicle. After consulting the manuels, I have learned that the fuel pump is in the tank. That a vaccuous sound when taking the gas cap off is perfectly normal (because that is how the pump works) so I added 1 gallon to the tank, but I have a feeling adding more gas cant be that simple. Or is it? And if so, how much gas is necessary to start?

I'm really lost.
Please help! :(

Thanks In Advance

I stuffed a 350 sbc into my jeep cherokee when i first started it i was getting 65psi of oil pressure at idle. not im only etting around 30 at idle when cold and 10 or less at idle when hot. some of you are going to say clearances when i assembled my motor i had 3 thousands of clearance onthe rods and mains. i put posi-locks to keep the valves from backing off dad reset them. any ideas? i pulled the pan off the oil pump was tight the drive shaft was still on, the screen wasent stopped up, im goign to try a new filter if that dosent work maybe a new pump. im getting 10 at idle then it goes down it will go up to maybe 30-40 psi when r'ed up

I have a 2002 Toyota that I absolutely love. My husband wants me to consider selling it now so we can have some equity to get a new car with. I've only had it for 4 years, it's paid off, and I just love it. I'm afraid we'll just get in this endless cycle of only have a car for 3 years... I guess that's normal, right?

I just thought I would have it forever, since it is a Toyota and can last over 200,000 miles with good maintenance. I never considered trading it in. Besides, it has scratched windows and needs a new $1200 side panel, which we can't afford. He also mentioned he would be getting the new car, and giving me his. I'm not cool with that, and I told him. Anyway...

So regardless of the details I gave, what do you think about keeping a car that is paid off and works well? Keep it til it dies, or keep trading em in?

The car will sometimes not start. It does not make a noise. It has nothing to do with the battery or alt. (both have been looked at). The car will start if I put it in neutral. Where is the inhibitor switch on this type of car and how can it be repaired?

Okay, I know the answer to that question is 'no.' But what's almost as cute as a Beetle and has four doors? I don't like any of the other VW options. Other makes and models, thus, must be considered.... Ugh! Would normally get a Grand Wagoneer, but talk about gas guzzler! I'm a young, hip and cool... mom, and need to have a car that acurately, yet functionally, reflects this. Please help!

i see so much hybrid bashing,,,,why?
ive asked over and over and get nothing but smart@ss replies, so im concluding the SUV wont admit they are stupid, and rather than admit it, theyll insult those who have made wise investments

I have a '86 Honda CRX and am just wondering if 2 12" subs, 2 tweets and 4 standard size speakers is too much for my car. When i stand outside of the car and listen to the music, everything rattles! What is your opinion on fixing this?
