Hi, I had been having some problems with my Honda Civic 1.5 LSI (94-95) [UK], for a couple of months now. The car would Hesitation/shaking when accelerated, in the morning. A few times this has happened at nearly the same spot while driving to work (some 200m from home). Once, the car completely stopped (at that 200m spot), and will not immediately start. The ignition will work, but it won't catch and the car won't start. The car did start after some 15 mins rest. Last weekend, I couldn't start the car at all (in my driveway). Called the mechanic, when he came he immediately told me that it was a flooded engine. He told me that the early fuel injection engines (as in my 94 Honda), has a rain sensor which pumps more fuel when it rains. Recalling, it was on raininy days that I did have the problems.
My question is, since I never had these problems prior to two months ago (even in rain), do I have a defective sensor which needs replacing (as the car is getting older now). Or, as the mechanic pointed out, this is inherent in this car and I have to live with it.
Many Thanks in advance
