Honda Car Forum

ok so my mom and dad bought my '91 honda civic from my uncle in like august of this year...well ever since we got it we have had nothing but problems...

at first we would have trouble starting it and such where it would start when it wants to...my dad took it to someone he knew and well they found a bad wire to the fuel pump which is what my dad thought it was at first...

well ok so it worked i had my car maybe about a month...

well it desides it wants to act up again...this time my car does this studder and then shuts off completely...well my dad couldnt figure it out and was having a talk with his friend and something came up about "the brain" of the car (not exactly sure what to call it) well we tried it and well it worked but then again it doesnt...

its kinda doing the same thing it was doing in the beginning except this time the pump is running fine...except we can get it started and then randomly go somewhere and then come back and it doesnt want to start again...

my dad thinks its the distributor which is conected to "the brain" i believe...but if that isnt it and it does the same my dad doesnt know what to do...

i dont have money for a new car and with my parents and brother and also me working weird shifts its hard for them to find a way for me to go to work...

idk if i explained good enough or if anyone understands any of it but if you do please reply....i need some help...anything will do!!! please ASAP!!!
