Also California98Civic how do you restart when you engine off coast?
The technique is known as "bump starting." Here is a good discussion of "how to": http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...html#post10951

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
