SOLVED. You sir are a fucking genius! It was literally driving me nuts and after I did this it never died on idle again!

my Del sol did that for a long time before I finally found the cause, someone here told me something to do and it worked
remove the dist. cap, take the 2 wires behind the button that are on the dist base loose (phillips head screws), clean the contact area good and clean the terminals and then put them back it fixed mine straight up and it hasn't died while idling since Problem started recently, car starts like it's brand new, works in idle PERFECTLY, pulls great and whatnot, however it recently cuts off while in idle and warm. Basically I can drive it for 45 mins or 10 hours doesnt matter, and if I then stop and let it idle, it will turn off in approximately 5 minutes, each and every time, rpm holds at exactly 850rpm, it doesnt drop rpms, it simply shuts off as if I personally turn it off, I can then simply turn it back on easily and continue where I left off. TPS is adjusted at 0.48CT, however I noticed this morning it dropped to 0.47CT but I doubt it makes any difference because when CT ws 0.44 and 0.55 and 0.48 and 0.50 it always had the same issue. IACV has been replaced and cleaned not even a 15 days ago. Whole TB has been replaced as well because when swap was done I didnt had proper TB, now I do. Sparks new, plugs maybe 6 months old or so. New oil, filter, fuel filter. I just have no idea what could possibly be a problem, in a nutshell, when it's warm and you let it idle it shuts down as if I shut it down. I have checked that cilinder where key goes in, that's not an issue. Excuse my English I'm from Croatia. Thank you and hopefully someone here had the same problem so he can assist me. Thank you once again and have a nice day. |
Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
PGMFI relay. They are notorious to act up due to the solder of the board inside. Try that.

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Thank you, I'll try replacing it tommorow. If that doesnt fix it, where should I go from there?

there are other culprits to explore at techauto:

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
If the relay doesn't fix it, it may be the ignitor or rotor button inside the distributor. The ignitor went out in my exGF's car at a stoplight and we had to tow the car home.

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Yeah, if you already replaced the igniter, chances are...it's the relay. Even though you have a replacement on the way, you can remove the relay and open it up to inspect. The solder may have broken off or not making good contact. One thing I have done that has helped is remove the board and drill 1/4" holes on the plastic casing. This is for ventilation purposes only and actually helped out with overheating.

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Damn, its not relay, same thing happened, drove it like 15km without stoping, stopped for 10 minutes, after 7th minute it jerked and was about to stall but somehow it recovered and stayed on (battery light turned on then off after it reached normal idle speed), then not a minute later it turned off. I was able to simply turn it back on, drove 3 more KM, stopped by the side of the road, 20 seconds later, turned off again, was able to simply turn it back on, then I was so pissed that I was just going straight home, I drove for next 13 or so KM and pulled next to my place, let it idle for 5 minutes, it didnt turn off. Dafuq is going on? Battery maybe? I guess the longer you drive the more it takes to turn off, if you obviously dont stop anywhere just straight driving.
All grounds are new, I even added 1 extra to gearbox ground just in case. Alternator has been replaced a year ago, could it be alternator issue not being able to hold it at idle? I just dont know where else to look? this has been pain in the ass and I'm losing patience because I have replaced every single thing and got this car completely wrecked up and rebuilt it myself, now it gives me this in return ... I'm all lost, any ideas are more than welcome! Thank you. |
Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Also 1st time it jerked and was about to stall in 7th minute was when fan was about to kick in. Could it drain a lot of current voltage that batery simply doesnt add up or recharge?

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Anyone? Replaced battery 130$ thrown to dust. Same issues, anyone care to share some insight? Thank you.

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Sounds like a faulty alternator.The alternator isn't charging the battery then the car dies when the voltage drops to low (maybe 12 volts).This happened to my mate.
EDIT; To check,someone on here said: 'Grab a multi meter and check Voltage output while car is running. Should be 13v+, if it fluctuates under 12v then the Alternator isn't strong enough or is dying' |

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
When U replaced the ICM (ignitor) it came good for a month you said yeah,then when the weather got hot it played up again.I would replace the ICM again if that fixed it for that long and if it does the same thing then something is causing the ICM to foul up,faulty wiring or something.Best to test continuity of the related wires to see if there is a difference in voltage somewhere,They are sensitive 1 volt sensors so it dosen't take a lot to bugger em'.

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Ah I see,I would still check the wiring being that it's so random.May just have to take it to an auto electrician.

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Youtube has a few vids.Check battery connection,make sure it's good.OBD2 scaneer,set to record,after it dies read the data..

Re: Honda Del Sol Weird Problem.
Considering 11 is an ECU failure code, and 13 is a Baro code (which doesn't actually exist, meaning...ECU failure code) maybe you shouldn't doubt they would stop the car from running. Replace the ECU.
