Default 1995 Civic Engine turns off

When driving my civic, after about 20 minutes, the check engine light flashes, and the engine turns off. I then have to wait about 15 minutes, and the car will turn on agian. Any ideas?

something is probably clogged.check your ecu like dcsport said! maybe too lean fuel/air mixture. or too heavy. or the spark plugs arent working.

My Eg did this.It was the dizzy. would start up and drive for about 15mins and then shut down.And check your main relay as well.

Default

go to autozone, or find the 2 pronged plug in the passenger kick panel, its not plugged into anything. stick a paper clip in it to jump the two sides. count the flashes, they will be long blinks, then fast ones. so if it does 3 long and 4 fast, thats 34.
