Engine Performance problem
1989 Honda Civic 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
My 89 Civic is losing performance. It was running fine, but every now and then I would smell what smelled almost like burning oil or exhaust and one day the engine started smoking and it completely shut down. I've replaced the spark-plugs and the fuel pump as well as some fuses and it runs again, but only as a shell of it's former self. It can no longer climb hills. It gets 35 mph up hills when floored and sucks gas like there's no tomorrow. I've been lead to believe it's a crack in the exhaust manifold, but I would like a second opinion before I sink more money into it.
