This happens to me once in awhile. car dies out in when im idling and when i try starting it , it wont start. I noticed that you have to wait for a couple of seconds and it will start again! Its embarassing cause it happened to me a couple of times at a stop light and i look like a dumbass just sitting there trying to start my car. I checked everything in my car but nothing seems to be wrong except for it idling up and down which is another problem i can never fix even if i tried everything. If you guys know what could be the problem let me know. Thanks

I have a b16 with type r parts.

 

anyone???

 

first check for any loose wires on/inside your distributer if no prob
check you TPS sensor

 

TPS sensor goes after a while on older b16's. Does it only appear before or after warm up ?

 

well i have a type r throttle body and manifold. I have a vafc and use it to check my tps sensor cause i though that would be the problem too cause sometimes when i step on the gas pedal my car doesnt even rev up! do u think that the tps is bad that sometimes it messes up like that? ohh and it only does it when the engine is warm.
