You repaired the radiator or replaced the radiator ??
When you did the oil change did the oil look like milk chocolate or ???

Have you checked to see if you have spark coming from the coil ?? All the way to the plug itself ??
Have you checked for fuel ?? Have you pulled a plug to see if it's wet with gas ??

Hey man, it's kind of difficult to understand what your trying to say without periods in between your sentences. Don't worry about the spelling, all of us here misspell a word here and there when we are trying to get our thoughts into words.

From what I gather your having a similar issue than what the original thread maker TURBOXR is having? If your having problems with your car and it is NOT related to this thread your best bet is making up your own thread.

Running water in your radiator will not kill your engine in one day but if you run your car with water rather than antifreeze coolant, it will eventually mess up a lot of stuff in a month or two.

Kiss, you took to long to make the first reply. Almost 21 minutes. OP didn't have all day.

Louie, Kiss was not making a new post, he was trying to help the OP.

Boxpin, wow, that is a crack. Can I buy that block on the corner. lol Thread 3 years ago. LOL

Kiss, since the OP, a very nice 15 year old Honda has been purchased. LOL

yeah Rob my post was for mindripper had posted something that I believe he/she was trying to say something about having a problem after repairing radiator. Since there are no periods between sentences I couldn't gather what was there issue.





And yeah this thread got a knot in it...lol

Well I used to be quicker but I had haters who keep telling me I needed to get a life. Now I have one and I can't just sit here at the ready to help people. I only check in when I can and sometimes that can be as infrequent as 21 or even 22 minutes .
