while sitting in the drive-through at Rally's today, my car just died out of nowhere. my car started just fine, but then maybe 10 mins later (it was a long wait) it died again! from the time i got to that drive through, and got home, my car probly died about 6 times! my car has died before, but my rpms would slowly get lower and lower, then die (and only once) what happened today was just ridiculous.

so anyway, i did a search and everyone keeps saying to check the compression, and one guy said he changed his idle using AFC hack. i was just wondering, how much would it cost to get my compression checked, and also is there a way to change my idle without Hondata/AFC hack?

(sorry this thread is so newbish, im still learning )

 

car? engine? trans? year?

yeah, so did mine, on OCCASION, but 6 times within maybe half an hour?! come on!

also, i forgot to mention that my car normally idles really low (anywhere from 500 to barely 100) could this be a fuel problem? i was thinking about changing my fuel filter, but not sure if that would help, or if i need to do something else...

 

spend money if you want.... i would loose my job if i automatically threw parts in every drivability that comes through the shop with out proper diagnosis

 

same problem here.....ls/vtec with gsr tranny....Fuel Pressure at 42.....changed fuel pump and fuel filter......car with shut off when in neutral and idles between 100 to 1000rpms......anyone know what the problem could be?
