Civic Stalling in Hot Weather
Hi i have a 1998 Civic Cx Automatic with 160k miles on it
The car has a hard time starting in hot weather sometimes and also sometimes stalls when driving. When i stall the electric doesn't go off so my radio is still on and everything but i have to go park and restart the car afterward. There are no odb codes going off on the car and it's recently had timing belts and fuel filter changed. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fuel pumpish or something but i dunno. Any help would be great. THX |

Other posts will tell you how to restart without waiting for it to cool down. Didn't your car qualify for the ignition switch recall? Usually main relay only affects restarting, it doesn't cause stalling in traffic. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/civic/x02-031e.pdf Look at posts about igniter too. 'Curly' |

Civic Stalling in Hot Weather
When my igniter went bad, it would cause a feeling like spark plug
wires shorting out. Then after a while, the engine would quit. Only after it cooled down, could I start the engine again. The problem seemed to go away then after the engine got hot again, the sequence reappeared. - Bob jim beam wrote: > 'Curly Q.
