Hey so i have a 96 civic 4 cyl sohc manual and sometimes it won't start and i put a jumper pack on it and it will start up after a 5 turns but ive hafd the battery tested and it was good (had it tested a few times) also it will stall while driving bnut start right back up and run fine (also idles around 4-500 which seems odd and when it first starts up sometimes itll idle at 10-1500) any advice will be appreciated.

 

If your battery is good and you have starting trouble, it could be your battery cables having corrosion or being weak/old. Trace the battery cables and look at the ends of them to see the condition. Sounds like your ground wire to your battery might be bad.
Next thing to check would be your starter if the battery and cables are good. Your starter might be weak and getting old, or the cables going to your starter are a problem.
Are you getting a check engine light on? If so, checking the codes is a good start for troubleshooting your low idle.
Do all basic maintenance such as air filter, fuel filter. spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, etc.

 

so i fixed the starting problem but i still have the it trying to stall out when im driving. It is also a manual but that shouldnt make a difference in the current situation

 

I’m glad you fixed the starting problem. Any check engine lights on in your car? That’s a good place to start with diagnosing it.

 

the check engine light is on but thats for the o2 sensor and its had that ligh on for a minute and it does this now i just replaced the fuel filter and now i have to like crank it 3 times before itll start.

 

Might want to change the O2 sensor. How does your distributor cap and rotor look? You can take the cap off with three Philips head screws. They are parts that tend to wear down or have corrosion. Are your spark plugs in good condition also?
