I'm new to this forum so you probably already discussed this but...I have a '93 Civic 3 door 1.5 that will die going down the road or at a stop light. The check engine light comes on as it dies, let it set for 1-5 mins and it starts up and runs fine. I have changed the fuel filter. I don't know if its fuel or ignition at this point. I does not backfire. Once it refires, the check engine light goes out. Any ideas.

Help

 

you need to figure out what the CEL code is.

 

My Haynes book said to pull the two wire connection out from the right side. I checked on the net and they said it was a green rubbery connector. This I found. It has three wires on one side and two on the other. I tried jumpering this out and succeded in blowing the fuse on the buzzer.
Am I on the wrong connector? My book doesn't mention a green connector.

 

I think it's blue. Should be a 2 pin connector.

 

OK I'll look again. Thanks for the quick response. I'm trying to not appear to be a complete idiot.

 

Hey man check this link out

It shows your how it looks like and where it is and also the definition for each cel. find that code and you will be one step closer to fixing your car, good luck !

 

Thanks, I jumpered the "two" wire connector and apparently there isn't a code set. Nothing happened.

I left the jumper in place and will read it the next time this happens.

Thanks
