Ok.. so about two weeks back. my 97 ls just stalls at a red light in neutral. I dint even know the engine turned off. Yesterday i went in blockbuster, left the engine on to grab a movie. came out and the engine was off. Also happned today. the engine dint sputter or jump or antying. just turned off!.. is this bad?

 

Do you have anything done to the motor? Is it an automatic, or a manual?

 

Check for CELs.

My initial guess is a sticking IACV coupled with an improperly set idle.

 

my car used stalled couple time before it die and cant be start nomore...my reason was my Distrubitor Moduel die out, so i had it replaced and my problem was solve...

 

97 ls standard trans. car is stock besides an intake which came with the car when i bought the past weeks. it usually stalls once or twice but then im able to start the engine up and drive again. will check the cel , and post update

 

...soooooo, which Blockbuster do you go to?

With our cars being theif magnets, I can't believe you leave it running anytime your not within 5 ft of it. I have yet to let anyone even drive my car in the last 3 years.

I have noticed with the weather changes here in FL, that when I park the car after running it at night while it is around 50*, then if I drive it next in the afternoon, and it is around 78*, that it will want to stall at idle while at operating temp until the ecu finally smooths out the a/f ratio again. I might just reset the ecu next time and see if my theory holds water. Always fires right up tho. It will only do it once or twice, and then I think the computer dials it in perfect again.

 

im hows your coolant? Headgasket possibly going. Lack of compression at idle may cause it to die, while under throttle it keeps a little compression for the other cylinders.

Still got the same go as it always did? If so neglect my comment.

 

so i go to auto zone and ask try to use their obd2 reader. but the guy coulnt find where to connect the reader too.. anyone know where that would be on 97 ls. checked under the driver side and ash tray/coin holder.

 

its on the passenger side right next to the center consol. next to the radio, a little below the radio. ,,,,well that where it is on my 2001 integra

 

yup had it checked.. but then the code reader says i have to take it to dealer cause only dealer can read it.. F***** bs. can u check the flashes on obd2 or does it work on obd1 only? can somone verify

Yes you can. There is a thread in the Integra FAQ section at the top of the forum.
