so i have a 92 cx hatch with a 98 type r swap. i had problems in the past with having a moroso oil pan it created a small leak but on sunday i replaced it for the fourth time and i thought i fixed it but today im coming home and i get on the car in first, second, and put it in third. i let of in third and all of a sudden the car stutters for a second and just dies completly. the rpms drop to zero and the CEL comes on and battery light comes on. try to turn the car back on but it wont start. if any one has any idea or knows what happend... let me know. if u guys need any more info let me know. thanks

 

bump does anyone have any ideas

 

could be a number of things, basically what you just describe was, u basically poped the clutch w/o going anywhere and your car stalled. Check the plugs, pull em and see how they look, check and make sure your getting fire and spark, check your gears make sure everything is in time then come back and post on here your findings.

 

okay so after looking at the car in day light i pulled the plugs out and everything only to find out that the fuse for the ecu was melted so i put another one in... and started right up... but now i got on the car as i was leaving and the car died again... put another one in but a 20 instead of the 15... what can cause the fuse for the ecu to go so quick?

 

a short in a wire or a bad ground or a bad relay. i wouldnt keep replacing fuses like that. when the fuse blows it blows for a reason. trace the wires make sure nothing is krimped or cut. make sure all of ur grounds are good and secure.

 

yeah i know i replaced the fuse three times... it seems to only go when im at a high rpm.. and the only thing that sucks is that this car is only way i get to school and back...

 

which harness did you use? i'm pretty sure you did a home job "extending" the wires. If this is the case, so you should re-check what you did.

 

here's a hint, ecu/radio are connected, try looking at the grounds first.

 

i instal car radios all day long and i dont think it would be the ground for the radio but ill double check. .i hope it not the ecu going bad. the things that this car had done to it when i bought it was scary. bought the car for a good price but the more and more i looked at it the more it was f**ked up and all ive been doing is fixing the things the previous owner did. thanxs for the info guys and ill let you know whats going on

 

I had the problem in my EF with a LS swap.. Found out it was a bad ecu. Also found out that my alternator was charging at 21volts which caused the problems in the first place.

is that like that on all hondas?

 

so i got some bad news... went to school today and as im pulling in the fuse goes. i pull over into a parking spot and i try fixing it. sit back down in my car and all of a sudden a kid in a 2007 lexus slams right in to my drives side door. a a result i missed class, need to get my car towed and its all f**ked up. it looks like i need a door a fender a hood a bumper and i need new koni yellow and ground control.
