I have a 99 Honda Accord. I don't drive it too often. I bought it new and have had it 8 years and it has 51,000 kilometres on it (equivalent of 31,689 miles).

Last week when I turned it on, it made the sort of noise cars make when they aren't going to start, however it did start and I only used it for a short trip with no trouble. I haven't driven it for a week and went out today to turn it on and it won't start at all. There is no power to the car. The doors wouldn't even lock.

Any suggestions as to what may be the problem? I've had no problems with the car up until now. Thanks.

as in a cannoe, you have holes at the bottom where water enters, does a larger vessel use the same principal?

Borla Exhaust. And found this... http://www.borla.com/products/product_multi_detail.aspx?cat=2&type=88&desc=Universal+Mufflers%2c+Tubing+%26+Hardware|S-Type It says its universal so it should fit my car...right?

My car alarm keeps going off at certain points of time. Most of the time it goes off 2 or 3 times in the day at 2 or 3 different hours. It has been happening at 12:00 pm and then at 3:00 pm.

I reset the battery each time it goes off, just because I am scared it will turn on after 4 pm (which it doesn't).

Anyone have a solution to this problem? I have been dumb-founded with this problem now for a week.

I was looking at Etihad Airways career website, & I saw that they have vacancies for over 1200 employees left !
Anyway, I'm thinking of applying for it, but I'm not quite sure what Cabin crew really means .... You know ...
What do they do ? Is it ground base jobs or as an attendant up flying with the passengers to different places.

Here's the link:

Ilike that car and i don't consider it as a very expensive one... but, I don't see too many out there? Do they have some bad reputation?

I have just started having a problem with my car, and my mechanic can't recreate the problem. I'll describe it as best I can:
The engine seems to hestiate or sputter intermittently, either as I accellerate from a stop, or while crusing at highway speeds. It's not like it's missing, more of a jerk or a lurching feeling.
Sometimes the "Check Engine" light comes on. Then it will go off.
My mechanic cleaned the fuel injectors and replaced the choke trottle, I think. He said the fuel filter looked new, so he didn't replace it. It's a lot like when the fuel pump went off on
It is has started leaking water from the intake manifold. The mechanic also said something about head gaskets.
I also just had a tune up, and the car does not have an EGR value, I'm told.
I want to know if:
The water leak could be causing the check engine light to come on.
The Oxygen Sensor may be the problem.
The Head Gaskets may be the problem.
The Fuel Pump may be the problem

Any other thoughts?

And then have my unlicensed parent/guardian insure it?

The thing is, I live with my grandmother who is too old to drive, and I have a license, and I'm trying to figure out how I could buy the car and who can get its insurance.

Also what if an aunt or uncle living at another address buys the car for me, and they insure it, and I just drive it?

I got my oil changed at my local garage, not the Honda dealer, and they said that the dealer has to turn off the maintenance light (a little wrench) that is supposed to remind me to change the oil....

At two gas stations I checked, the nozzle on the Diesel pump is larger than the gas nozzle. The Diesel nozzle was too large to fit in a regular gas-only tank opening.

This would prevent someone from accidentally filling thier gas tank with diesel fuel.

So... does the state of GEORGIA *require* this at all gas stations?

I am 18 years old, 19 in August. I am going to buy a car, whats smarter, to buy a cheap one, a new one, or to lease a new car? I have been told never buy anything that decreases in value, and that most business men/women always lease their cars and drive the latest car every year?

If I purchase through my dads business, I know I can claim back tax.
