Gonna start by saying sorry for the lengthy post, but trying to cover everything and be thorough.

Well i have a 97 turbo H22a JDM built motor. The car was giving me some issues as far as hiccuping and think i have solved that issue, seemed to be a boost leak. the issues i am having now are that the car runs better as far as hiccups go but now it is dying on me while driving. Sometimes it will stall at red light and start back up, at other times it will die just while driving and doesn't matter what gear or how fast im going. After car dies it may take a few minutes (10-15) before it fires back up. Sometimes it will go with no problems and sometimes it will die again a few miles up the road. Then again, sometimes, no problems! UGH!

I spoke with Fabworx(Beaufort, SC), and they said the car was tuned 4-5 months ago by previous owner and that it had new distributor, wires, and starter(which i have receipts for). I recently put new valve cover gasket on which prior to installation was leaking oil on top of 2 of my injectors and EGR valve.

Any Ideas from anyone...PLEASE HELP!!

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!

 

hello? any ideas, suggestions?

 

I am new to Hondas, kind of new to working on newer cars too. But, I have been reading up on as much stuff as I can. Sounds like something I read about recently. Believe someone suggested checking the main relay. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

 

also check the distributor, i know sometimes the ICM goes bad inside the distributor

 

thanks so much for the help! I spoke with a few people on PP.com and they have suggested the same thing, ICM! I called honda today and found out that it has not been replaced under warranty so she is going in on monday. Hopefully this will solve my issues and i will keep you guys updated, again, thanks for the help!! Much Appreciated

 

heated relays preludes love to do that.

 

UPDATE!!

So I actually found a dealership to fix the ignition control module today. Dropped the car off this morning and picked it up and am still having the same issues! Ugh!!!

Any more suggestions?

Could it possibly be the distributor? I thought he had told me it had a new distributor but i spoke with him yesterday and he said that they had not replaced it.......
I don't really want to replace this if anyone doesn't think this could be an issue as they are pretty expensive!

 

can you go into more detail bout these relays please?

 

hello? any more suggestions guys?

 

Ignition switch. There was a recall for it, common failure after the recall has been done too.

Look under "electrical" for "main relay"

 

i hear the main relay switch couldn't really be an issue as of now due to our cold weather. I hear thats usually only an issue in hot weather and when car is hot. it hasn't been above 50 degrees here in a while in ga...could that still be an issue in cold weather that you have seen?

 

I heard it was more along the lines of wet weather or hot weather.
