The use of periods in cunjunction with complete sentences would make this ALOT easier to help you with because it would be ALOT easier to read

 

I am so sorry 2gr84u, I was not aware I had to be an intellectual to post problems in a forum, oh my I am well ticked off for that, what are you THE POLITICALLY CORRECT POLICE, you sad joke, it maybe where I come from and my laziness but I'm sure others caught onto what I'm meaning, but any way while we are on the subject, and here I lower myself to your standards.....what do you mean by cunjunction.....don't you mean conjunction? Here is some advise for you, run a spell check and bearing in mind you are so clever well answer the questions posted and don't try to undermine peoples punctuation or literacy.

 

well it would be more beneficial for u to post a more grammatically correct thread so we can help u out...
anyways.....
wtf are u trying to tell us

 

what dictionary do you work with.......anyways! Where does that word appear,EH! Why am I being attacked for asking a question. Why do arseholes continue to try and ruin perfectly good sites? Show your real brains and use these forums for their purpose, why be the BIG I AM? Just try to help peoples problems and not their educational levels.

I only want help with a problem with my Honda, which I was under the impression that if I posted a problem then maybe someone would be able to advise me, Not to be criticized!

So if you can answer my problem then thanks very much, I need advice not a grammer check, BUT JUST TO PLEASE 2 ASSES I WILL RE-POST MY PROBLEM (oh! and try not to make any mistakes)

 

DUDE...........chill out
ur not being attacked numbnutz.....
do u think there's a reason why no one else responded to ur thread?
maybe no one understands what ur trying to explain....
good luck with ur re-post sir!
no need to get ur panties in a bunch

 

After fitting a new clutch and spider joint I was polishing the oil marks off while listening to my ICE, ignition was on the 1ST click to enable me to do this. After 20 minutes approx, smoke was coming out of the middle vents on the dash. I switched it off and checked the stereo wiring and that was all fine, but since then my de-misters have stopped working and now the car will only sometimes start off the key. I can bump start every time no problem, within the length of itself she is up and running but when I get to the end of my journey and switch off, it won't always start, no matter how many miles i have traveled, from 2miles - 40miles and sometimes it will start.

I have bench tested the starter and it is working fine, the voltage reading is 13-14 volts at ignition and 11-12 volts on the live from the battery.

The battery is also fine as my lights stay bright when trying to start car.

 

Im thinking the smoke from teh vents and the starting issue are unrelated, this sounds like the alternator going bad, have you had that tested? If thats fine, i would continue your diagnosis of the ignition system by checking the wires from the alternator to teh battery, and by makeing sure all is well with the destributor and sparkplugs/wires
