Why does my car turn off in the mornings?

Okay so I just bought an 88 Honda Accord 5 speed. I love it! The guy before me maintained it really well and it drives great. The engine looks good and everything on it is awesome. One problem though that he said he never figured out and neither can I. He was an older guy so and didn't have much time for the car anymore so I'm sure he didn't look that far into it. In the morning, and after the car has been cooled down for a few hours, when I start it, it won't stay on. I have to start in first gear and drive it instantly for it to stay on until it warms up and then it gives me no problem. What could this be. I though maybe a spark plug but the guys said he had it tuned recently and I also get regular oil changes. It's not a big deal for now but I worry about the winter when it's time to warm it up how will I keep it on.

Is the Honda Civic Type R's engine more powerful than most V6 engines?

my family islooking for a Sedan but with lots of power since we're all heavy. My dad is thinking of a Type r because it has a turbo engine, but my mom is thinking Chrysler 200 because it has a V6 engine. Both produce roughly the same amount of horsepower.

What are the disadvantage of the AWD 2018 Honda Civic Type R?

I'm thinking of buying a new car but it has to be fuel efficient, yet powerful. The Type R Civic caught my eyes all thanks to its all angular and sleek designs, DRL lights, modern engine technology and the use of a thinner grade oil that I assume will improve engine performance and fuel economy. I'm assuming it will have great fuel economy due to its turbocharged engine and the transmission mounted next to he engine, despite it being an all wheel drive.

Honda Civic LX 1998. Should I keep or try to sell?

So I have a Honda Civic LX. She is 20 years old with about 70,200 miles on her. I bought the car from my grandma about two years ago with about 50,000 miles on her. My sister and I both learned how to drive on her. My grandma drove the car very little in its first 18 years. Since buying her, I Drive it daily to and from work, sometimes twice a day. I usually drive between 8-20miles a day, give or take some. Since buying her two years ago these are the repairs I have gotten done - new muffler - some new belts (not quite sure what they were called - new radiator and water pump - new timing belt (And possibly another thing or two, just can't think of it all) She is now making a rattle sound in certain rpms and a buzzing sound when accelerating. I'm going to take her a mechanic this week, but i'm guessing she needs a new exhaust system/catalytic converters. In your thoughts and opinions, should I spend the money to get her fixed? Or just drive her until sh...
