hello I need help pointing me in the right direction, I was driving home on the freeway and suddenly the car turned off while driving. no smoke no weird noises just turned off. at first I thought it might been the oil since it had previously been on and off but I was already going to do an oil change this weekend so I bought 2 quarts of oil and tries to start her up and it would crank and it seemed like it wanted to start and I gave it a little gas and it would keep it on a little bit until I stopped then it would turn off again. tried jumping the car and adding gas but they didn't work. thinking it might be fuel filter, starter, or maybe even spark plugs any help is gladly appreciated thanks!

 

Since you've owned the car what parts have you replaced. When is the last time the car had any maintenance done?

 

I actually haven't replaced anything on it I've only had it for about 4 months. ever since I had it I did an oil change and spark plugs every 5k

 

When you put the car into the ON position, without starting the car, do you hear the fuel pump prime? A kind of buzzing noise from the rear passenger seat area? If not, fuel pump is dead.

 

let me check that I'll get back to you

 

I just checked and I don't hear anything I just hear something from the front passenger side is that anything?

 

**UPDATE**

the car now cranks and starts but it's idling really rough and the whole car kinda just shakes, maybe injectors?

 

Oil light coming on while driving is a dire situation. It's out of oil, and severe damage may have already occurred.

 

The next easiest and needed maintenance items are to replace the distributor cap and ignition rotor and spark plug wires and fuel filter.



Inspect the internals under the distributor cap for rust or corrosion or oil when you replace the cap and rotor

 

maintenance...

 

Could be bad IGNITION switch. I had one where it would start but car would die if switch moved slightly while driving.

 

It can be alot of things unfortunately. On a car that isnt serviced regularly we can only narrow down the possibilities by replacing all of the worn items that should have been replaced earlier. Once we eliminate common failure items we can see if a non common wear item like an ignition switch is at fault

Its also much cheaper to do the common tune up items, and since they are needed anyways there is no wasted money on parts, because those parts should have been replaced anyways. Where as an ignition switch isnt proactive maintenance

 

When my car did that it was a bad alternator and a bad battery.

 

ignition coil and ignition control module are 2 likely candidates.
you'll need both eventually so you wouldnt be wasting any money buying new ones.
you can try cleaning the ignition switch to see if it makes a difference.

So new to Honda's but being I works on my vw most of my time here's a few things that may relate. Had this issue a couple of times but differ thing gone wrong. First was the coolant temp sensor. Vws are very picky on that sensor and though it would start the idle was bad. Second is the mass airflow sensor. Causes mostly bad idle but have heard it not allow the car to start. I do routine maintenance on the car but have had both happen to me.
