93 Civic stalls
Hi, I have a 93 Civic Ex with 124k miles. Recently it has started stalling when i put it in drive/reverse and try to drive off/reverse. This only happens sometimes. When I try starting after that, it takes quite a few turns before the engine reluctantly comes to life; and i have a new battery. The other day i was stopped at a traffic light, and on green i accelerated and had the car stall in the middle of a busy intersection...... very scary experience. I said my prayers and started the car and was able to drive off. Am thinking its probably the distributor. not sure which part, just the coil or mebbe the O2 sensor?? Could it be some other electronic component? any help greatly appreciated! Tony. |

It included many Odyssey, Accord, CRV, and Civics. Do a Google search for 'honda ignition switch' and you'll see that you might want to just get it changed. It's very unpredictable, especially when turning across oncoming traffic (happened to me). You might even be covered by the recall. Ask your dealer to run your V.I.N. 'Curly' |
