Well, ever since I put that cleaner in my gas tank my car takes two turns and its on... but when its low on gas it has a problem starting, Ive never had a car that did that before.

all hondas crank longer with a low tank. not sure why, but i even had a friend with a crx that had a broken gas gauge, and thats how he could tell when he needed to fill up.

Interesting... only god and the engineers of Honda know why. Sac, your one of the first on this site. Why do you have 'guru wannabe'!? $hit, it should say "Your Forum MacDaddy, now go make me a sandwhich, bitch". Yea, thats exactly what it should say, damnit.

You need to replace the timing belt as soon as possible. Hondas are interfernce engines so if you timing belt breaks it is highly likely that you will bend your valves or maybee worse. If there is anyway possible borrow the money and get it done. As for your cranking problem the first thing I would do is test the battery, Autio zone or Advanced auto will do this for free. If you don't want to buy your battery there fine but why pay for the test. If the battery is fine then you'll want to lean tward adressing other unadressed tune-up needs. And as for asking if you want your belts replaced while there off, I work at a dealership and we always recommend that you change your belts while there off. I would also recommend getting cam and/or crank seals done while there in there in there at a discounted rate.

And have them check your water pump while they're in there too.
