Hey Scotty Kilmer i have a 1996 Dodge Stratus ES V6 2.5L, The car startes then dies after 4 seconds also i have try to step the gas pedal still dies after 4 seconds. I have replace the starter, fuel pump assembly, fuel filter, fuel injector, spark plug, spark plug wire, air intake/ charge temperature sensor, idle air control (IAC) valve, manifold pressure (MAP) sensor, And but still having issues. So what could be the issue? I need help.

@mrroot1447 4 года назад

Hey Scotty, I have a 2018 Honda Accord lx with 13,000 miles that suffers from oil dilution which we all know about the earth dreams engine. Another thing that isn't talked about as much but is still a common issue is the rear camshaft seals were very poorly made. Mine leaks a bit of oil and if you search up the issue you can find that it is actually quite common. I just figured I would mention it incase you want another example of how poor Honda's quality has become.

@CheapBastard1988 4 года назад

Well I daily drive a Ford with a 2.0 Mazda engine and because it's a manual it's pretty quick but with an automatic it's a complete dog, because it only has a narrow power band. So if you work the gearbox like a racing driver you outperform anyone with an ordinary car but if you're not very good at driving a manual or have an automatic you won't get anything good out of it.

@@auletjohnast03638 Yeah, 70s cars had little to no maintenance costs, because they had no technology. Means if you crash your 70s Mustang, you will certainly die. How stupid do you have to be to expect a modern car loaded with tech and security features and a beefy engine to be same as reliable as a 70s car... Of course there are things breaking more often if you have twice the tech. And if course it is easier to repair a head gasket on a 6.2l 90 Horsepower gas hog than on a 1.6 Turbo with 180hp. And not to mention that cars back then also had serious problems. Like Ford Pintos that randomly blow up when rear ended. So what is your point?

Mazdas handle great. Any mazda will handle better than its competitors in any class. Almost as good as lexus, more slop but also more feel. Hydrolic steering kept instead of stupid electronic steering. They use modified ford power steering pumps, maybe the best made hydrolic accessory ever made as far as reliability and rare leaks, failures. Uses Tras fluid.

My friend is 6'1" and drives one

@STho205 4 года назад

I had one for 16 years. The first year. White with black. I got 250,000 miles on the original clutch which was still working when I sold it to a friend. One replaced timing belt, one replaced water pump. Three tops. I replaced the radiator as the plastic one was useless in the Gulf Coast heat. The wiring was starting to get quirky. Plastic window was much larger. Loved the simple manual top. Best top I ever had. Sure beat the MGB, 325ic, old Jag. It was similar to the 70s Fiat Spider top.

Do one of these videos on the rare but reliable TOYOTA PASEO 😍

I agree. The most fun car I ever owned. I will definitely get another one some day. I had a Toyota MR2 turbo, Celica GT-S, Infiniti coupe, BMWs, Honda S2000, and so forth, but my Miata was the best!

That car worth about £500 ($600) in the UK. Some have said it was the Lotus that never was.

For small get up and go cheap cars, I still like Saturn S series, they have always been dependable to me in the past.

Miata Is Always The Answer

Come up with that all on your own?

Had my ‘03 Miata since 2013. It has 187k miles. I’ve owned it since 99k miles and have never replaced the clutch. Best car I’ve owed 👍🏻

I am 6' 3" and i have plenty of head room and leg room in my 94' Celica. I LOVE MY CELICA!

in '89 i got into a Miata at a car show. i had the seat as far back as it would go, and the steering wheel as high as it could be set. then i pushed in the clutch. my leg got stuck between the steering wheel and the clutch pedal. i literally used the open palm of my right hand to repeatedly punch my left leg until i got it free. i was 17 and only 6' 3" tall never been in one since!
