Does this happen alot to you?
I was sitting at a light,all of sudden when it turned green, i tried to go and it just died. I didnt know what happened, never happened before. I turned the key and it started ,but would not keep idle. I would have to press the gas to keep the car on. If i didnt do that it would die. I just not put my timing back to normal, put some different spark plugs in(not new but ones I haevnt used in a while). Now it starts up go up in the rpms, idles for a few seconds then just drops to zero, and the car dies. What could be the problem??? I would like to fix it soon cause I close to getting it tuned with my hondata.
Setup
b18b1 '95
t3/t4 turbo
440cc rc injectors
safc hack (does not come on for some reason now just the buttons light up)
MSD ignition
walbro 255 pump

Your AFC not coming on is your problem. Did you by any chance have a passenger kick ur ecu connections? happened to my friend not too long ago!

my money is on the afc not being hooked up right anymore for some reason and now its biting u in the azz. check all of your connections on it to make sure nothing is loose.

Re: Does this happen alot to you? (redturbocivic)
Your car was running 440cc injectors without the AFC being hooked up at all? How in the heck did you manage to idle those big *** injectors. I'm suprised it even started up at all. With that much fuel it should just blow out the spark and not even idle at all.

It was hooked up but the screen wouldnt come on. I just now cleaned out my IACV and I jumped the harness to see if any codes popped out. It flashed once so that was oxygen sensor. So i cleaned that and it actually stayed on and idle. Now for the 440cc the idle stayed at only 500 rpms. So I am guessing the car will not be able to idle those now. I am going to put stock injectors in and see what happens. For the safc...checked connections and their good still doesnt come on

check to make sure that the grounds are still in place and btw it would light if connected correctly unless your afc is fried or inoperative.

Re: Does this happen alot to you? (Code Blue)
When I looked in my haynes book it told me the oxygen sensor. My car is obd-I if that helps. When I cleaned the carbon off the o2 sensor, it actually stayed on. It had a rough start but stayed on. I am thinking it is because of my 440 injectors now. I am going to change them out after work and hope everything works
