Ok. I was driving in the city and next thing I know I felt it stop. I was coasting... so I pulled into a parking lot. I tried to start the car again. It roughly tried to turn over. I opened the hood and looked inside. You could see where oil splashed back at the engine. I have gas.... I did not see any idiot lights before this happened. Could I have just busted a line? It was not overheating. I am going to have my sisters ex boyfriend look at it this evening hopefully. He is a mechanic. But I was just wondering if anyone had an idea what it could be. It is a 1997 Honda Accord. I am hopeing that it tries to turn over is a good sign... but it is kinda rough... like it catches for a second... then dies. I was thinking a cloged fuel injector or something. Admittedly it has needed a tune up for a while and I have neglected it. My plan was to get it done in May when I finish paying for the car ( I bought it used obviously.) HELP!!!

Troubleshooting starts from the basics of engine operation. It needs air intake, fuel, ignition, proper exhaust and ignition timing. If you haven't had an ignition tuneup in over 4 years, the technician will make sure you have good ignition spark. Your air and fuel filters need to be flowing properly. Next, your emissions systems need to be checked including PCV and EGR. Any computer error codes (check engine light) will be useful in the diagnosis of the problems. If you wait to have problems fixed, they simply build up and will have to be fixed sooner or later. It may cost you more if you wait and fix them later.

The gadgets are all electric powered, so i ought to pull the gauge cluster and ascertain the relationship on the shrink lower back, and the floor as well. My total cluster supply up operating and looks someone-pleasant challenge as a retro better healthy plug grew to develop into into made to modify the later style XJs (better moderen sprint). i'm no longer for effective if the connector is an same because of the very reality the older XJs. I plan on replacing my cluster with aftermarket gauges (Autometers).
