Just Bought a Used Vehicle
Hi i just bought a 95 civic ex coupe with 116k miles. the car has a mint interior and has an alright body that is green ( i dont know the exact color).
The only problem i see with the car is that when i gas it, ALOT of water come out of the exhaust and shoots out like 4 feet out. when i mean alot this thing is like a miniature water gun. when the water comes out it looks like dirty water with rust resadue from the tailpipe of the exhaust.
can anyone help me out?

The car is completely BONE STOCK. the previous owners did not drive it. it was just sitting around and thats why they sold it. the owners was a guy in his early 40's , late 30's.

no it doesn't, the water comes from the combustion of hydrocarbons...and the water will be vapor not liquid...

no i didnt, but the engine seem sound, not noisey or anything and it seems to be running smooth. but i should do a compression test just to be on the safe side.
do you know where i can get a compression test and how much it will cost?
thanks
