I have an '06 honda civic with a tad over 6k miles on it, and I'll need to leave it sitting in an airport parking garage for three weeks (over christmas). I've been told that I'll need to unplug the battery, fill the fuel tank, and do a few other things I can't remember to make sure it starts up okay when I get back. The owner's manual says I would only have to do something like that if I leave it parked for a month or more, but three weeks is awfully close to that.

I was just wondering, does anyone know what I should do with it (if anything) before I leave?

Most times there is just engine surges during idle but sometimes it shuts off. I've talked to a mecvhanic over the phone and he say's it might be the egr valve. Could it be anything else?

The weather is cold here but we have plugged the car in for more than 2 days since it quit working. It is a 94 Nissan Axxess. The weather has warmed up and the car still will not start. It cranks and tries to start but then dies. We have put in gas line antifreeze but it seems the gas is not getting to the motor at all. We have tried spraying QuickStart into the carborator and it started twice but then died right away. How much would it cost in Canada to fix whatever problems it could have? Thanks

Hi, recently my car has not been holding oil pressure well and when I went to put in more oil, I noticed that there is a substantial crack on the right side valve, and the area has some oil on it. Is it completely unsafe to drive with the car like this? I need to pick a family member up from the airport tomorrow...
