Hi everyone,
The engine has been shutting off radomly on me, and it only happens while Im stopped at a light or stop sign. It has never shut off on my while I am in motion. When it shuts off , the engine sputters a bit and then it shuts down, usually takes a few minutes to get it started back up.

things i've replaced
1. Distributor Cap &Rotor
2. Coil
3. ICM
4. Spark plug wires
5.Ignition switch
6.Fuel pump


after replacing all these things the car still does it, it doesn't do it everytime i come to a stop but it'll only do it while im stopped.

anyone have any ideas? could spark plugs be to blame?

osofastferu

ok just changed the spark plugs, definitly not it, cuz the car isn't even starting now

Do you have any DTC's?

osofastferu

what are DTC'S? and I've noticed that when I turn the key I no longer hear the fuel traveling thru the lines, So im going to replace the relay next.

I predict your problem will be fixed.

DTC's are Diagnostic Trouble Codes. The main computer runs tests at various times. These tests are labled with titles called DTC's. P0740, P0135 etc. They can help in diagnostics because they are a specific test the ECM saw a problem with.

DTC's are indicated by a Check Engine Light.

Oo, well the check engine light never comes on, even when the car actually shuts off the engine light doesn't throw any codes, however the light does work ,cuz it comes one when i first turn the key.

***update*** im posting this just in case someone else has this problem, it was the main relay, it very easy to get to in this model honda. I popped the new one in and it started up immediatly, and i checked the old one and it had fried soldering points on it. thanks for the help everyone

Hi i'm having a similar problem my car recently stalls while trying to start it seems like it almost catches then stalls and all the lights appear on the dash including all the door ajar and brake lights, it has also happened while running a few times always stopped never rolling like you said. Where these your symptoms, it might be the same problem?
