Have you ever seen that movie, "the money pit"? This little car I think is very much like the mansion in that movie -- including all the over the top humorous parts where you're like "that would never happen!"
I got the car back from the garage yesterday, where it had been determined that I'm a big idiot and that the problem I was experiencing where the car wouldn't start was because two wires fell off the coil. In my defense, there are 3 wires coming off the coil on one side and two on the other side, and two from the 3 wire side had fallen off and only if I had been particularly observant previously would I have known that those wires belonged there. Or if I knew a little bit more about "stuff." But anyway, the car was fixed yesterday.
Then I brought it to get inspected today after a joyous drive to work. It passed with flying colors. ( "Do all your lights work?" -- "Yes" -- "Here's a sticker." )
On the way out of the inspection joint the thing started idling REALLY rough and then it just died. And wouldn't start again.
Realized it was flooded with gas, let it sit, eventually it started. But it's driving like SHIT and if I sit for too long at a light or something it dies, and then requires a couple minutes of sitting to start up again.
Seriously -- can I have the car in good driving condition for more than a day before something goes wrong again? Please?
VTEC, take me away!!
