CarComplaints.com Notes: Haven't we all owned one of these things at some point? Despite being a popular first car for teenage drivers and, as a result, being beat up like no other, the late 90's Civic is a true endurance car. And it still gets better gas mileage than more modern cars.

I left work as usual when shortly after near my work I began to smell a strong gasoline smell and I parked to check the vehicle when I turned off the vehicle it made a slight explosion and caught fire
My son was driving home and the car shut off all of the sudden? he noticed the RPM gauge just dropping and he gave it some gas be RPM's continued down, he pulled into a business, stopped and opened hood to see or smell for any rubber, burnt, possibly if the timing belt was busted. He called me and we talked about what was going on, so after a couple of minutes he tried to start the car and it started right up. A few times I started the car and as I drove car just died. At times you try to start the car and it may take a few times, it would want to start up then turn off, and just a few days ago I started the car, waited a few minutes reversed it and car died than when I was starting to leave then car would turn off.
