[QUOTE="Mishima, post: 3416430, member: 70430"] Hi guys, I'm driving an old Honda Civic (year 1983 2nd Gen) and the car was running in tip top condition. I can even start the car with the air cond on everytime without it dying off while idling. But now, whenever I start the car with the a/cond on, the car just dies off! Not only the problem, the car power has gone down so much that I hardly hit 100km/h while driving on the highway, and acceleration gone down a lot too (can feel that). That happens when I on the a/cond... But still can feel that power went down when the a/cond wasn't on but not that obvious. Another problem is when stuck in the traffic, the car heat will jump up, and the exhaust will start to emit white smoke, well... a lot of smoke. The smoke of course will eventually go if the car is moving so some time, but the smoke amount (a lot!) is really killing me and other environment. Got once the smoke came out and surround the car... ppl thought my car was on fire! Not to mention, when I idle my car for more than 5 mins, engine oil start leaking out... :( Whether this problem is related to a/cond or not, I need to know from the proz. Can someone tell me what is happening? And if you guys want to help, please explain in detail.. I dun understand much short form like FICD and TB since I only know car basic needs. [/QUOTE]
