Hey folks---

Any ideas on this one would be greatly appreciated. My '96 Honda Civic LX starts up alright and runs fine for awhile but once it's warmed up, it will inevitably die any time I slow down to a stop or to turn, etc. The battery and oil lights come on. It will start back up fine but the problem will continue as you drive it and it seems like it's an idle problem but I wanted to throw it out there before trying to adjust anything. Any ideas?

Sounds like you either have a vac leak or a bad IACV.

 

It's possible that it's dizzy failure as well. Sounds like the ignitor. Change the plugs and wires and see if you can get a new ignitor.

If it was a dizzy, I beleive it would misfire more than just at idle.

 

It doesn't have rod knock does it?
