Default My 94 Accord 5th Gen Problems

Okay overall this car has had no major problems except for a leaky water pump when i first bought it last yar (69 K miles...not bad for a 10 year old car)....now it has 97 K miles and the same problems ive had since ive bought it.

Heres a list of the problems it had

Power Windows very slow (Even slower in park then in drive)

Power Antenna stuck halfway up (Got this fixed)

Door conveinence light wouldnt shut off because driver side door didnt close all the way (Got this fixed. they had to move the whole hinge that the door latches onto more towards the inner area of the door jam)

Glove box light turns on and off randomly while driving

When in first gear (i have an auto) i hear a like...thumping noise right when i hit about 2000 rpm. its wierd. when i bought it they said they had no idea what it was

Fuel tank/ gauge problems- Okay when i look in the manual for my car it says the gas tank holds 17 gallons of fuel in the car. However when i fill up i get about 11 gallons in and then its full. Its not a misprint because it says 17 on every spec site there is (MSN, Yahoo, Auto Trader)
Also with the thing it acts wierd. When i first got it the gauge line would go down about 1/4 of a tank randomly for about 10-15 minutes. and then gradually go back to normal. Also ive never seen the gas light come on when the car is on "E". i dont think its broken.

-Other Misc Problems ive never seen any1 mention

Okay ive never seen this one anywhere...when its really cold here in massachusetts and ive been driving around for a little bit and put the car in park, the engine starts going crazy. its starts reving by itself to about 2500 rpm pretty quickly and then goes back down to idle and repeats. this keeps going on till i either turn it off and turn it back on. the engine only acts crazy when its in park or neutral...ive found this to be really wierd


Oh yeah the other problems were that the center console top broke on one side from the console it self, and the center arm rest in the backseat broke off the hinges and it wont go back on.

by the way i have a.....
