Please help me, I am in a pickle.
I just recently moved from Northern Indiana to Central Florida.
I have a 1995 Civic Lx Automatic with 120,000 miles on it. I have put quite some time and money into with routine maintenance and upkeep. I havent had anything go bad on it except radiator, water pump and o2 sensors. Ive been the proud owner for about 4 years now.
Okay now the problem, my mechanic is 1300 miles away, no brothers and or father. Im a 24 year old female (aka the mechanic's wet dream to scam) I mean, I know quite a bit about my car and how to listen and drive it well but as of past 2 weeks Ive been having little bit of problems.
-First off it starts weird. It doesnt turn over right away, it takes an extra 2 seconds and sometimes hops and or seem like its not going to start at all. Its not everytime though sometimes it starts fine and other times it starts like that.It starts horribly when the car sits like over night or all day at work.
-Than sometimes when Im like stopped at a red light it putts, almost like its going to stall out?It hasnt stalled out yet it just jerks a little bit but doesnt happen all the time.
-And on top of that my acceleration is shot, the get up and go has gone and went. I noticed today when I was on the highway I had to slow down (cop) and when I tried to get back up to speed it started to shake a little.
The mechanics I have talked to have basically gave me the ring around and have treated me like an idiot.
Any advice/opionios/diagnosis you guys have would greatly be appreciated!!!!!
I think it has something to do with my fuel pump/filter.....that area??????If anyone lives in central Florida and willing to recommend a good mechanic let me know.
