we have an 'H' reg Honda Concerto that is on its last legs. she only needs to limp on for another 8 weeks, after which, i have the opportunity to buy a newer car.
once started and then run until warm, the car doesn't like being switched off again and refuses to start. leaving it 10 min's seems to work. a little bit inappropriate if you are at traffic lights and you happen to stall.
i disconnected the air filter intake allowing the car to by-pass the air filter, and suck in as much (dirty) air as she wants. i don't remember the air filter ever being changed!
it seems to have done the trick.
however, will this be ok for 8 weeks, or will the lack of clean air be too debilitating?
