So, my son wanted a Honda. We found a beat up 2 door civic in his price range. Ran good for a week. He tells me it stalled. I want more details of how and when. I don't know, I was at a light and it stalled. Nothing else. So, clean the iac valve. Order correct gasket and remove throttle body, clean it. Re solder master relay since they are known for broken solder joints. Replace front axle (noisy cv). Change ATF. Runs good for a day. Says it stalled again. Then today finally stalled with no start. Towed it back to my house. No spark. Found Honda used a coil in the dizzy that has a spring to the cap. Well, wouldn't you know, this brand new looking cap was melted where the spring makes contact. I hope he can learn at least from this.
