Hey all, Thanks in advance for any help from ya'll. My 89 Civic Hatch is suddenly not running so well. This is a little difficult to explain, but here's a try. I'm driving along, and at seemingly random times, the engine seems to just not fire for a cycle. Something like this has happened before. About 99K miles back the fuel injectors were starting to go bad (mechanic said the resistence was out of range). It would do something like not firing for 1 cycle and then pick right back up again like nothing happened & the "check engine" light would come on. This time, it feels sort of the same. It feels like the engine is cutting out for a cycle or two, but this time, the "check engine" light doesn't come on. Additionally, today, it cut out, cut in, and cut out completly leaving me to coast to the nearest parking lot. The "oil" light was on. After waiting about 30 seconds, I attempted to fire it up for about 5 seconds and it didn't start. Then waited about 10 seconds and tried again. This time it started the moment the engine turned over. It ran fine the rest of the way home (3 miles). I'm at 170K miles & I'm not burning any oil. I've got a bearing I think (AC, alternator, water pump, something) that makes a terrible screaming sound about once every 5K miles. It's done that about 3 times now but it stops after 10 or 20 seconds and I won't hear it again for months. I recently hit a brick doing 70mph that punched a hole in my automatic transmission. A little marine tec putty later and fresh transmission fluid, & I'm seeminly doing fine. The brick also reduced my fuel tack size from 11.2 gallons to 9.8 gallons. Thanks for any suggestions. Let me know if there's any other info that might help. Curt
