My 96 Honda Civic CX is having some minor problems, on hot humid days, after the car warms up, everytimg i come to a stop, the car will stall. that night when it cools off the athe humidity drops the car will run fine, do you think this is an idle problem, or does it need plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor, or what else do you think it could be?

heat can affect fuel delivery. Does it bogg before it stops?

Maybe running really lean

it does not bog before it stalls, when it stall it is just like you shut the car off. I did have a check engine light on, and the code read Bank 1 running lean, but to this day noone has been able to tell me what to do to correct that.

possibly you might need a new fuel pump to get more fuel to your motor.

i havent seen a fuel pump partially quit working though, i have only seen ones that work, or dont...can a fuel pump pump less fuel?

Might just as well do the your main grounds while you're at it.

What is your mileage looking like?

Cap, rotor, plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter and an oil change is a good place to start.

What about a valve adjustment?

If you've got over 75k on the stock O2 sensor, it'd be a good time to replace it as well. O2's only last so long and on my stock 99 hatch (D16Y7) I begin to notice a drop in power and gas mileage when approaching the 75k mark.

As JRI94 mentioned, cleaning the grounds would be wise as well.

Well the milaege is this.....281,000 miles, just trying to keep it going.

i have a 96 cx also and my lasted till little over 390,000. when my timing was way off after replacing the engine it would cause it die once it was warmed up

beatercivicCX

it doesnt do it all the time though, just under certain conditions..., i am thinking a tune up shoud stop it completely or cut it way down.
