i was doing that for awhile. but it was on 1/4 of a tank when it just died.
i thought the engine jumped timing and did repair my leaky water pump
successfully over the weekend and put my timing belt on correctly. thanks
for all the help you all offered on that. but the car is still down due to
the fuel pump. i may just wait to get it fixed and buy another honda.
