Car Troubles
1989 CRX Si.
I was teaching my friend how to drive a little stick and after a while we took it onto a larger deserted road. He was in second, clutch in, shifted into 3rd, clutch out and it started bucking a little so he gave it more gas, but nothing happened. He pulled over and when he stopped the lights came on that come on when it stalls(Batt and oil?). I go to start it again but no luck. Its turning over(So its not the starter) but won't start. If you keep the key turned for a while it sputters a bit and it sounds like a sheet of metal getting shook back and forth kinda. I don't know if its the fuel pump. I think it has enough gas. Gas gauge says 3/8s full with 239 miles(About right I guess. Maybe a little high of miles)
What should I look for? Could it be flooded? We pushed it 8 blocks to his house then tried it again(15 minutes?) and same effect. I'm going back tomorrow morning to put in more gas and try it again.
