engine stalls on hard braking
this pertains to a 1998 honda civic LX, at, ac, 163000 miles: recently during the last few months whenever i'm travelling at between 20 and 40 mph and i've had to brake very suddenly and very hard, the engine stalls as soon as the car comes to complete stop. never used to do that before. engine starts up w/o any difficulty afterwards. a/c is NOT on when this happens. engine does NOT do this when i brake normally, i.e., non-panic stop. any ideas on what's causing this and what components to check? any advice would be greatly appreciated ..... tia. |

'check engine' light does not come as part of this problem except after the engine has stalled (and the other lights are on as well) |

Does the engine stall if you apply the brakes hard while stationary? |

'check > engine' light does not come as part of this problem except after the > engine has stalled (and the other lights are on as well) Wonder if your dashpot, or throttle control is functioning right... Normally, the throttle is held open a bit for say appx 3 seconds or so before it goes to idle. The purpose is to prevent stalling on hard stops due to the throttle cutting off too quick. You should be able to get an idea if it's working by goosing the throttle up to 3k or so, and quickly releasing. It should take about 3 seconds or so to totally cut back to idle. If it cuts back almost instantly, I'd check the idle/dashpot controls. Just thought I'd mention this being as no one has yet.. MK |
