After about an hour of driving my prelude it will just die. i have to wait about 10 minutes
before it will start again and then it will do it even sooner, like 10 or 20 minutes later, until the next day when it wont do it for an hour or so again after sitting overnight. anyone have any ideas?

 

could be overheating and shutting off? what's the water temp gauge reading when it shuts off? how are you fluid levels? i'd check those basic things first. maybe a bad thermostat not letting anything by?

 

ill check it out and keep you posted.

 

goodluck.

 

well its not overheating thats for sure, anyway i read someware on the posts a while back that a guy was having problems with his car stalling, turns out it was something to do with the computer where the peices were soldered together, when they would get hot they would unhook or something, anyone ever heard of this?
the engine on my car is new, meaning compleatly rebuilt. and even before it was rebuilt it had this same stalling problem. only on warm days after about an hour of driving.

HELP!

 

is the radiator new or did you replace that too?

 

yea its got a new radiator new head new waterpump new piston rings new bearings the only thing i think i didnt replace was the block and pistons.

 

well how bout after it shuts off, check the fuel pressure and check if you have spark. I used to had this problem on 91 lude and it turned out to be engine control releay.

 

Does the car idle rough before stalling/dying? My cousin had the same problem. Turns out it was the pcv valve being clogged.

 

You put up a post but you don't tell anyone your car type and year. How can we help you man? There are different TSBs associated with different car type and year.
