When driving my civic, after about 20 minutes, the check engine light flashes, and the engine turns off. I then have to wait about 15 minutes, and the car will turn on agian. Any ideas?

 

check you check engine light then report back

 

something is probably clogged.check your ecu like dcsport said! maybe too lean fuel/air mixture. or too heavy. or the spark plugs arent working.

sorry, but what is a dizzy?

 

is there an easy way to check the check engine light?

 

go to autozone, or find the 2 pronged plug in the passenger kick panel, its not plugged into anything. stick a paper clip in it to jump the two sides. count the flashes, they will be long blinks, then fast ones. so if it does 3 long and 4 fast, thats 34.
