| On my 1988 honda civic, i found out through the internet ,that there were recalls for the efi control unit, a recall for the seatbelts, and a recall for the ignitor, and for some reason i never received those recalls. i been driving the car with the bad efi, and the idle just jumps up and down, and now my ignitor is gone bad and the car won't start. i almost got hit from the back because the ignitor failed while i was on the right lane in the highway. the car shutters and stalls...the efi unit just suddenly speeds up the car, since the idle jumps up..i spent so much money changing the good parts. i would like honda to replace the ignitor and the efi unit free of charge, now that i know those 2 parts are the problems all these years.. please chk this site also: http://earthrenewal.org/are_honda_automobiles_safe_and_r.htm ..please write back asap..thank you.. | |||
