uhmm.. my first post..
i'm having problems with my 93 civic ex turbo.

Ok, on my way to work my car stalled at a red light on me...The car was idling at the time(1500rpm); as i started to let off the clutch, it shook like it was running on 3 pistons and died. It took me a few tries to get it started again...It also died on me when i was coming home from work. After I start it up, it runs normal again. This is the first time my car has stalled on me. I couldn't find out what is wrong with it. I'm thinking it could be my msd6a. Can anyone help.

mods:
*93 civic ex
*95 z6 motor (60,000miles)
*greddy turbo & intercooler
*greddy turbo timer
*greddy fmu
*msd 6a ignition
*msd spark plug wires

hope you guys can help me.

First things first
check spark plugs and make sure each cylinder is getting a spark from the dist.
check all spark plug wires for any cuts, nicks, etc. if you have an electrical tester check the resistance on the plug wires.

my spark plugs tips are really black..I cant even remove the black stuff from it..could that be it..I've been running to rich lately. I also have a ignition kill switch hooked up to my msd 6a. I was thinking that was the problem but the switch is a 50 amps switch and didn't blow yet.

Fuel pump? Didn't notice one on your list of mods. Maybe it's on its way out...

is your turbo timer hooked up correctly and all the settings good? Maybe it's switching off....just a guess, I';ve seen it before.

check the fmu and the spark plugs, i have the same problem sometimes, and im runnin really really rich all the time. my car likes to stall a lot....but it never has a problem starting up so im not to sure what thats about. good luck.

Tsk tsk tsk...poor greddy turbo kit owners-- always uppin the fuel pressure for boost...but it never comes down. You need a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. done and done.

actually, i just had an exeperience with something very simular to this.
it was on a 00 Prelude.
turbo charged.

His car kept doing the same thing.
well anyways, was their a recent change in the weather.
what happened whit htis guy was that the past few days it was raining like crazy, then it got really hot, and humid. His A/F was changed dramatically and cause his car to be to Rich.

Prb was solved by puting it on the dyno with A/F meter.
and retuning.

just curious, do u mean fmu or greddy fcu as in black/blue box?
