what is wrong with my car!!??relientokay 09-20-2003, 03:42 PM Ok i have a 93 honda civic si. with i/h/e, my cars check engine light was on this morning, and later this afternoon my oil light came on, i havent changed the oil in a year i know i should have but i didnt put very many mile on it, i only put on 1000 in a year! Then my cars idle was really high, alot higher thsn usual, and it sounded horrible, i started to drive up the street and my car died, i started it again i drove home and it died again, i know i need oil, but is something seriously wrong with my car? Please any info will help. substance 09-21-2003, 06:19 AM similar thing happened to me (the oil leaked so i was running on NO oil for a couple days) it started making this noise when i rev'd over 3,000RPM and it ran like shit and it would die out on me if i pushed it. Soon enough something just "popped" inside the engine and it wouldnt cut on anymore, i took it the shop and the repairs were something around 300$. I'm not saying that thats your problem but i DO know that running a car with little to no oil WILL have serious effects in your car. Milliardo 09-21-2003, 09:13 AM The lesson to be learned here is very obvious: check your oil, and change it every 5,000-10,000 km. (depends on the year model your car is). Running with little to no oil, or not having a regular oil change, will have serious consequences on your car. 90CRXZCSi 09-21-2003, 10:57 AM well it would be like 3000 miles here in the US... anyways, if you let it sit there for a year or w/e, its really not good. Have you checked your CEL's to see what they are?? jcrx 09-21-2003, 03:25 PM Did you even check to see if you still had any oil? relientokay 09-21-2003, 07:54 PM The lesson to be learned here is very obvious: check your oil, and change it every 5,000-10,000 km.

I have check it regualarly. I was going to have it changed this week when it started doing this. When I start the car the engine revs at a high rpm. Could there be fuel in the oil.
