hi, I have a dx civic hatchback, I've been having a problem and I was hoping someone could help me with it. My car will start and run, but at times it will stop running randomly while driving. I try to start it back up and it turns over for a second but then i lose it and it won't start. After waiting for about a 1/2 hr to an hour it will start back up but the problem keeps reoccuring. At first I thought it was the electronic control module and some other people thought that, so i removed it and had it tested and it came out fine. The car was not driven for about 6 months before i drove it for the past 1 month or so if that makes a difference. I would appreciate any suggestions or thoughts on this so thanks in advance.

 

i would go ahead and flush all fulids, oil, coolant, clutch, etc...

 

have you had all your electonic parts diagnosed. ie. starter, alternator, or battery? even grease or crude oil on an electronic part can develop starting hesitations. try wiping down the parts mentioned, with and electrical parts degreaser. you can find them at any automotive/ electrical parts store. does your clutch slip?

 

thanks for the help.. the clutch has been fine.. I was thinking there might be water or build up of fluids somewhere from letting it sit so i was going to flush them next. I haven't had the electrical parts checked so that could definately be an option too. Any other suggestions?
