1989 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Sweet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong, except for the brakes and tires until now.
Now when I drive, the radio cuts out, then my tach goes screwy and backwards and stalls. If I floor it when this happens it sputters. I left it for a night, then started it the next day and it started, but did the same thing after about 10 minutes of driving.
Please help anyone. gvis7@hotmail.com
I'm thinking it's my alternator or ignition coil, or maybe just needs a new belt please help me.
General comments?
I've raced my buddy with his 98 with the same kilometers on it and we were equal.
I'd definitely buy another Honda.
