1998 high-mileage civic has startup noise
I have a great, tough, 1998 Civic LX that has over $250K miles. Just
this week it has started making an awful racket on start-up, that goes away once the engine has been running for a couple of minutes. I have noticed that it is using up oil more quickly, and that it has less power than it had 100K miles ago (go figure, right?). Any ideas?
