i have a 1991 honda civic ef hatch with a d15.
when im driving the car after a couple miles it starts to cut out or loose power as if a couple cylinders stop working.. and when i try to give it gas to keep it running it gets worse to the point the motor shuts off and stops working completely. and when i try to restart it doesnt and on the rare times it starts it runs like crap. after i let it sit for a couple of minutes it starts up and runs almost fine..

i have done practicly everything i can think of to sort out the problem and nothing seems wrong..
i need help with this issue. any suggestions will help!

 

You may want to list what you have checked as you may get a ton of replies for things you may have already checked.

I would def check the main relay, as with most of these cars the main relay usually is a place to start.

When they car dies and quits working, when you turn the key on do you get a fuel pump prime/purge? Have you checked to see if it's not getting spark after it dies?

 

^^^check the main relay they crap out^^^

 

i checkd for intake leaks, compression and for weak spark and its all fine..
after it dies it starts but it runs like crap. the fuel pump is fine from what i can tell but i havnt gone indepth to look at it just yet.
thanks i look at the main relay

 

Check your grounds on the engine mainly the one on the thermostat housing
