    1999 Civic LX turned off

    Thats why I carry 2 sets of keys, a set with car/house keys, and a set with both and the rest. The car likes to randomly lock me out w/ keys in it. Mechanism is mucked up but not enough to fix it.

    Take it to a good muffler shop that will take the time to listen and tell you where the issues are. My 81 Corolla was the same way. Exhaust moaned mosta the time, more on curves. Gutting the cat, new doughnut didn't help. It was a character thing.. Still blew cold a/c. Trans was in reverse as...
