hello fellow honda-tech members, im new to the whole car tech stuff, i bought a 95 dx about a month ago, when i got it the engine was fine, run pretty smooth but a few days ago my car would sometimes die out when i start the engine, or when i start to drive it the engine would just turn off, when i turn back the engine on i rev it to keep it from dying again, after a while the car wont die out any more, what can be possible problems? i know theres many possibilities.. thanks in advance.

 

I can only guess without more details, but here's a bump for more ideas.

Hondas seem to have common troubles with ignition switches, especially with heavier keychains hanging from them.

Also, the main relay has been a trouble spot. It lives in the LH kick-panel, several inches above your left foot.

Both of those are kinda like on-off problems. When the switch/relay works, the engine runs perfectly. Then it's like you shut it off.

Since you talk about having to rev it up to keep it from dying, maybe tell us a little more detail about how it acts as it dies.
