I'm a NOBIE here but not to the cars

I have a problem with 98 CIVIC LX

when it reached operation temp it shoots off , just like that

recently replaced parts due this issue
-timing belt
-water pump
-crank shaft position sensor
-valve adjustment
-new battery
-spark plugs +wires
-new distributor

it feels like fuel is cutted of by ECU but what do I know


NO CEL

PLEASE HELP

post any idea

thanks

 

i had this same problem with my d16z6 what i went to first was my engine temp sensors these engines have two replace them or just plain ground them out to see if that is what your problem is. If not im sure you have a buddy that has the same ecu stick theirs in there and take a few pulls.... also check ALL ground wires for corrosion and/or fraying. let me know if this helps.

 

it sounds like your ecu try buying a used one off ebay or a hit a junk yard

 

I have another 97 civic coupe DX

do you think that I could replace THE ECU from 97 DX to 98 LX ???

so can I do it ?

 

ECU replaced and ... the same

I forgat to add taht after car die , I cant start it up for the next 12-24 h

so I need to wait another day to start it

 

please help

my friend told me this

" bought my old tempo beater for $500 with a blown HG. i could drive around for 15 mins or so, and once up to temp(thermostat opened)...it just died. large enough gulp of anti-freeze and it stalled.

it would take AT LEAST 24 hours before it would restart. trying to restart it before that time would not increase the time...in other words, the clock wouldn't restart.

the issue started with bucking and hesitation...when the previous owner(a friend) had the the car diagnosed(by another friend). once the gasket got bad enough...it mimicked pawels civic.

thoughts?"

 

I just checked

-ECU
- main relay

and they both works


next step

-coolant temp sender
-EGR

 

i guess if you throw enough parts at it it will eventually be fixed....wouldnt it have been cheaper to have it diagnosed and fixed one time though?

 

problem fixed, car runs-finally

it was ignition modul
