I have a 1990 DA9 and the car dies when i press the clutch in and come to a stoplight.

I have checked for vacuum leaks and couldn't find one.

I did get a CEL code 1 for O2 sensor. I replaced the O2 sensor.

Same problem.....

What else can I check?

 

check the distributor

 

I took the cap/rotor off the distributor earlier and everything seemed fine. What else can I check visually on the distributor? I don't have a volt meter.

 

sounds like it could be the ignition coil

 

Would a coil from an obd0 dizzy work on an obd1 dizzy?

 

This only happens when the motor is warm. When the motor is cold, or warming up I can stop at a stoplight and it'll idle at 800 or so.

I can restart the car after it dies and it'll idle just fine, but once I get up to speed and come to a stop, rpms drop fast and bog near idle and dies.

Any other input?

 

Replaced the fuel filter and spark plugs.

Same issue.

Bump for suggestions.

 

sounds like it may be a faulty Idle air control valve.

 

Why would it only stall out at 1 out of 5 stoplights? It idles fine when im not moving. Dies and sputters every once in a while.

 

how did you go about checking for vacuum leaks?

 

I just did a visual inspection for leaks and tried to feel around for leaking air. What's the proper way to check for leaks?

I had a vacuum cap come off one of the nipples on the back of the IM. I plugged it up again and the idle didnt jump like it used to.

 

looks like we have the same problem my da is doin the same **** right now it sucks lol did you fix it? if so what is it? pm me thanks

 

LOL!

I'm gonna try to clean my IACV and my FITV tomorrow. If not, i'm gonna sell this bish and get something more reliable. HAha!

 

hahah alright man let me know how it goes and ill let you know how mines goes... lol

 

I'm gonna try taking out my main relay and resoldering the connections.

 

im another integra owner with the exact same problem i cant seem to figure it out and ppl on fourms dont know but it seems to be a common problem u think someone would have the answer.

 

I just took a trip to lunch with my wife.

Seems like I have a fuel problem and not a ignition problem. I noticed on the freeway that the car started to bog real bad in 5th gear. Stepped on it a little bit to pass a car and I heard detonation from the motor

Can a fuel pump be defective only when the motor is warm? That's the only thing that could be wrong with my fuel system and my symptoms only come on when the motor is cold.

 

i dont know the answer to your question about the fuel pump but all of are problems seem to be related some how. I still feel like mines an electrical problem becuse my lights go dim and my windows struggle to roll up when the car dosent die it idels at like 100-200 rpms and sounds hardly on

 

dude i have the same problem, right now i am going to get some new plugs that might be it im thinking, i pulled them out and they were pretty nasty....

 

fuel pump, trust me, had the same prob with dying when i would stop, or i'd be on the highway and my car would bog and die and i had to hope it would start up again on my hatch and i replaced everything else electrically like the dizzy and such and blew all that money....turns out it was fuel pump, it only died when it was below half a tank...and i had to take it to honda to get it done cuz my fuel gauge was reading wrong too, like 700 bux total but it was worth it cuz it ran better than it ever did.

 

well mine are like new so i dont think thats my problem. I cant belive this many integra owners have this problem though. Im just tired of spending money on what i think might fix it and it turns out it dosent becuse i know it has to be some small and stupid problem.

Did that only happen when your car was warm? My car seems to run just fine when it's cold. Only bogs and stutters when the motor is warm.

 

dude... just to let you know i changed the fuel filter and flushed everything and also fixed and clean the fit valve and my car runs perfect you should give it a shot... good luck

 

Well, I believe my car's problem might be related to the main relay.

I resoldered the connections on the main relay. No dice....

Just cleaned my IACV. Looked pretty darn clean actually....I doubt it will have an effect on the motor. I'm gonna go with fuel problem...either fuel pump or injectors.
