My car is a 1990 CRX with a z6 swap. It has ran flawlessly for about three weeks.
I took my son to school today and the thing just died at 55 MPH. I coasted to a stop and cranked it back up. Sounded like she was hitting off 1 cylinder and idling at like 100 RPMs. The check engine light came on I guess due to such a low idle.
I cycled the key off and back on. Fired up then cutt off. Cycled the key again, fired up, and ran like crap for about a mile till she cutt off. Cycled the key yet again. she fired up and ran all the way home perfect with no engine light. When I crank her now she runs flawless.

Anyone familiar with these symptoms? Fuel pump? Relay?

Thanks in advance.

 

I think it stores the trouble code for a while. Try checking it.

Sounds like a distributor problem to me.....maybe a loose rotor set screw or the dizzy itself?

 

Im getting one blink every two seconds.

 

Oxygen sensor I believe. Has the wire been spliced all ghetto? Are you OBD0 or OBD1?

 

It is OBD-O only one or two screws holding the dist. on. The wiring is not ghetto, it's neat.
Could a bad O2 cause these issues?

 

Just took her out to get gas and a short 10 mile or so spin. Running fine now. Is it possible that I had some crap run through the fuel line earlier?
