1994 Honda Civic CX

I have a 1994 Honda Civic CX that I purchased about 3 months ago. Recently, I have been having a problem starting the car. This only seems to happen when there is moisture in the air or a dramatic temperature change example: -5 Celsius – +7 Celsius). The car turns over and starts for a split second than dies.

1998 Chevrolet Malibu

I am looking at buying a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu w/4 cylinder engine. Owner fairly recently had starter changed. Since then it has a problem that the engine dies, randomly, but regularly, when slowing to a stop. Does not die when accelerating or at a maintained higher speed…only when down shifting and preparing to come to a stop.

1997 Chevrolet Lumina

We have a 1997 Chevrolet Lumina. About a week ago, when starting the vehicle, it stalled, and then took a couple tries for it to start again. The clock on the radio reset itself to 12:00. After that, it did not happen again for a couple days. Electric is not getting to anything else. Also, to note, the radio itself only half the buttons were lighting up when the car was in working order. Pease give any advice you may have.

I have a 2001 Chevy Express van G1500, V8-350 5.7L with 132270 miles on it. Due to my neglect, I have run it with very little oil twice. I now know that I am using about 1 quart per thousand miles. I had a check engine light come on and its #4 – cylinder misfire. We pulled the plug and it was very corroded.
