Time to sell?
My car has a few problems...
1. In idle or in drive with the brake pressed, my car shakes violently like it's going to stall but doesn't. It previously did this in Feb, so I had the rotors machined and spark plug wire changed. That fixed the violent shaking but the car still shook in drive with the brake pressed. Should I change the wires again?
2. When driving, the car feels like it's bouncing or very slightly jerking back and forth. Any ideas?
3. I have rust pockets underneath both windows.
4. When accelerating at any speed but more so at a low speed, the car shakes. Also, the car kicks back and forth between gears when deccelerating (automatic transmission).
5. After a 10 minute drive, I see faint smoke coming out from the hood and my radiator fluid seems to always be low. What could be causing that?
My Integra has 139k miles. Is it time to get rid of the car or are these things worth fixing?

hell yeah sell that sh!t!!! I wouldn't even bother unless you got the car for free....but if you just recently bought it, i'd ditch it fast and get another one that obviously doesn't have any of the stuff mentioned above goin' on with it. It's not that what you listend can't be fixed....it's just your time.....it's pretty much summer right now and it's "peak" selling season so you should be able to get rid of it fairly quick. Scoop up another integra and go from there. That's what i'd do.

'90 Integra RS
I have the same shaking problem as he does on my Integra. I got this car for under a grand from a close friend to the family. Actually yesterday my car stalled as I was crossing a 6 lane highway and wouldn't turn on again so i had it towed back 2 my house. Is there anyone who knows how 2 fix this problem so that I can sell it once it is running?

Sell it (bis)
I would sell it, man.
An integra should be a pleasure to drive, not a pain in the ass !
I have a 1992 Integra 1.8 LS Auto 100K miles and it's a pleasure to drive. My only concern with it it that the D light went off on my gear indicator but I should be changing this soon.
Don't put any money in your car. Seems like a lot of work, unless you've got a friend who's a mechanic and you would like to take your baby apart and replace some parts.
Otherwise, just forget about it.
