1999 Honda Civic Engine Malfunction
Hi folks!
I have a 1999 Honda Civic LX (129,491 mi), recently, the car began dying while driving or stationary. This situation, or "spell" as I call it, first arose in July 2008 and after discovering the battery was dead, it was replaced and it seemed the problem was solved.
HOWEVER
This problem has began again. The occurrences are random, no warning signs, unless you count the actual "dying" instances. The are only 2 common patterns: 1) seems to only occur on hot days 2) once a spell begins, the interval between occurrences becomes more frequent until it dies and is unable to be revived.
I have driven & owned this car for 5 years and have never experienced this problem before.
Here's a brief history of car maintenance & repair
-- This car has no history of electronic malfunction (at least for my ownership)
-- timing belt replaced and transmission rebuilt @ 90,000
-- new battery (07/2008)
-- oil changes and other maintenance performed regularly
I am a single mom & full time college student, a car is everything to me at the moment.
Is there anyone able to offer some advice, please? Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks and Godbless,
