Civic Auctions

okay, i'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars so bear with me...my civic died out of nowhere while i was driving it so we replaced the distributor with a used one and it seemed to do the trick. a month later the car did the same thing and this time we've replaced it with a brand new one. i made it probably five miles after it was put in before the car died yet again. i've been trying to determine what it is i need to do. i know distributors are a common problem for civics of this generation, but to have to replace it twice in an hour? ridiculous. i was thinking that the spark plugs and wires might be the problem. what could be causing this?

I have a 98 Honda Civic. I used to be able to floor the gas and my car would launch away, but I noticed today that won't happen anymore. I used to feel pressure from the gas pedal that would resist to hard of an acceleration, but the gas seems softer somehow. And when I floor it, it's as if I were just accelerating normally. I swear, the tachometer hardly increases at all. This might be relevant: a couple weeks ago, my car died on me because the distributor was bad, so I got a new one. I think it drove fine after that. A couple days ago, I got an oil change and (I think they called it) a transmission flush. I didn't notice any difference after that, but I was also babying my car and wasn't pushing it performance-wise, so it could have been affected right away. I want to place blame on the mechanic, but again, I didn't notice anything right away and I'd like to know just what the heck would cause this problem. I guess I should have mentioned before that I drive an automatic. And I've never frequently driven aggressively (only if I was really pissed about something, yeah I'm an emotional driver). But anyways, I always thought about gas mileage and wear-and-tear when driving, so I rarely pushed my car excessively. To answer some questions, it has about 88,000 miles on it and I don't remember ever doing the transmission flush before. Thinking of taking it to the shop this weekend to maybe figure this out. I've noticed now that it accelerates fine till I get to third gear, and I can now get it to accelerate quickly up to fourth gear only by putting tons of pressure on the pedal. I wasn't able to do that before. Maybe it's healing itself!? :P

I was wondering how long it takes to get used to the huge dashboard? I LOVE the car it is sooo pretty, and the black is very ****..but the dash is HUGE lol I'm only 5'4!

im planning on buying one used and was wondering wich is best. im looking to spend 10k and under so yeah 2002 is cheaper but do the newer models have better upgrades?

My 98 civic is lowered with konig 16 inch rims on it. The tire size is 205/45/R16. I'm looking to purchase winter wheels for my car. What size would fit? I'm thinking of purchasing a set of 4 used tires on steelies for $300 with tire size P185/70/R13. Would these fit without any problems? Forgot to mention its a 98 civic SI canadian, or EX U.S. So its a SOCH vtech.

lost my keys now i must use a locksmith...does my car keys require a microchip? (transponder) or is it a regular key..trying to prevent getting ripped off.
