ive been putting this off for some time now and i really need to get it fixed. i have a 92 civic Si. 200,000 complety bone stock miles. anwhile back my car would start shutting off after about 15 mins of running under normal conditions. ive never beat on this car at all, babied its entire life. after about 15 mins of driving it shut off and not start back up.

i was thinking it was the main relay getting hot and messing up but i replaced it and the fuel pump, both of those are new. when i go to start it back up i can hear the pump priming like normal, but no start. any ideas

 

Do you allow time for the car to warm up? It kind of sounds like you have a problem when the car goes into open loop! (or closed dont remember) which also has to deal with the o2 sensor and the ect sensor! Have you also tried to see if you have spark to the spark plugs?

 

after it stops after 15min and you try to start it does it crank over?

 

it does cranks over. forgot to minchen(cant spell) that it doesnt have spark and no pgmfi light

you have to wait for a long time till u start it again after it dies?

 

yep, what im doing right now i think it usually about an hour more or less wait till it will start up again

 

coil or distributor maybe?

agree, that or check the mail relay. my friend had a hatch that did that and he just changed the relay and it worked just fine. good luck.

 

my 92 hatch did the same thing..it was somethin to do with a relay...if i would hit or jerk the car kinna bounce it...it would fire rite up
