Everything was fine and i was just cruising down the road. When i came up to a stop sign the car died and would not start back up.

I check my timing and changed the dizzy with new plugs, what else should i look for. Like i said it just shut off and wouldnt start back up,yet it was driving perfect before that.

The oil light did come on prior to it cutting off,but its due to a bad sensor,it did it on my last motor,and this one is freshly rebuilt with new reman oil pump.

I've heard of that happening.

 

Same symptoms?

 

what type of car are you working on ? more info would be nice to know so we can help out.
also what else have you checked. like spark cel

 

1993 honda civic lx.

rebuilt bottom end,y8 head,adj cam gear so the timing is perfect.

CEL for wideband 02,since its a vtec economy ecu.

Ice changed ecu's,dizzys,wires,plugs,tryed starting fluid,and i just soldered on a ignition switch,not the whole assembly just the switch. I still got no where.


I was simply driving and it cut off.
