Question:

98 Honda Civic dies when putting in clutch and brake (began happening after going over speed bump)?

I recently went over a large speed bump and my new car radio immediately died. A few blocks later I noticed that my car (98 Honda Civic, 36,000 miles) seemed to lose power when I put in the clutch and braked. Yesterday the car worked fine, but I did sense that something wasn't quite right when I braked. Today, the car dies (and the battery light comes on) at almost every stop sign unless I really push the gas pedal. It is not particularly hot or cold (and wasn't when this first happened) and I have half a tank of gas. The bump, radio and clutch/brake issues could all be a coincidence, but they did all happen about the same time.My questions:1) Does this sound like a familiar problem that could be easily diagnosed by my neighborhood garage or do I need to spend $100 for a diagnosis at a dealership?2) Is there something simple I should do/check before taking it in for a diagnosis?3) If it is something simple (a clutch cable?) could you give a range of how much it will cost?

Answer:

It could be that when you put on your perfume you could be putting it on your clothes. Many people think that if you put perfume on your clothes it will stay on longer and make u smell better. But only half of that is true it does stay on longer, a lot longer, but the smell it produces turns musty and stinky on cloth. Perfume is made to react with body temperature. Instead of putting your perfume on your clothes try putting it on places like your neck and wrist where you can feel your pulse.
This is so similar to the questions why does mixing oxygen and hydrogen make water? or why does adding a proton make a solid like carbon become a gas like nitrogen? Unfortunately, I've been wondering about that myself for ages. As for your question, a possible explanation could be The bonding between the atoms is much stronger, thus changing the chemical properties, but then you could ask So why doesn't the element stay the same with a different boiling point, melting point and electronegativity? to which I would have no reply. So I'm afraid I cannot fully answer your question.
