Huge lack of information.

checked the map sensor(ok)...well car is a 94 si...i start it and it would idle ok then all of the sudden it would just turn off(even if i gas it)

ti could be the fuel pump. what u can try to do is pour a bit of gas down ur iintake and start it up if if runs for like 5min then its the fuel pum p. also take a look at ur filter (fuel).

yea i was thinking it might have something to do with the fuel...thanks for the tip...i wanted to check if it could be something else before i go out and buy a new filter/pump....btw, i hear the fuel pump whine when its at the 2nd key, could it still be broke even if i hear it?

I have 3 ideas...that I got outta my manual
1) bad connections at distributor/coil or they need to be replaced
2) not enough fuel getting to the injectors...inspect the fuel system
3) vacuum leak between intake mani and t/b

turns out there was a whole bunch of oilish stuff in the distributor...anybody know what cause this?(car runs fine now )thx

pdiggitydogg

why do i have the feeling that you just had it in for some kind of service...oil change maybe?

what did you do to fix your problem I'm having the same problem?

on my 94 civic coup half the time it would run half the time it wouldnt start and half the time it would start up get just out of walking distance and then die. for me it was the engine coil not hard to fix at all but i guess it is a pretty common problem
