HELP!!! Car doesn't run right
 

I have a 92 civic lx with a D16z6. I changed the ecu, cam, pistons. cam gear, header, intake. The car ran fine for a few days, then it started acting up. When the engine temperature gets to the half way mark, the car cuts off. When the car cools down it will crank and run fine until its heats up again. I have took it to the repair shop several times and no one can figure out whats wrong with the car. I have replaced the coolant fan, alternator, distributer, external fuse box. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Please help, if anyone knows anything please respond.

yes the car will crank but it will not turn over until it cools down

could it be the coolant temp sensor? just a guess

oh my god take it to a different shop

you are just replacing shit till it starts working? holy crap go to a shop that KNOWS what they are doing and can actually diagnose a problem.

im willing to bet its the main relay. its a VERY common problem in civics.
