    1991 honda civic problems
    Hello I have a 1991 honda civic that I think it has a electric problem
    Sometimes I start it and it won't even turn over and when I'm driving at night sometimes all my lights go off but I'm still driving the car when I put the headlights on my engine sounds like its running low I let it run for a while then took out my battery to see if it's the alternator but it ran fin so I think it might be a electric problem something to do with my light if someone could help my so I know what I'm looking for that would be great

    If it's the dash lights that go out, check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting:

    I would also get the battery and alternator tested, which many auto parts stores will do for free.
