Okay my ex has the d16z6 motor, but i had this sudden problem today. I turned the car on and seemed to run fine, until suddenly it started bogging then it stalled out. THen it will start back up but not very smoothly then it will run for about 10 min. tops and then bog and turn off. Even when idling it does this. I took it out and ran it and it was fine until it was idling for 5+ min. and it bogged and turned off? I do not know what is wrong???

Do you have a check engine light on? It sounds like you having some trouble with the MAP sensor.

Does it happen ONLY at idle??? or while your driving as well?

YSIDRAG

Your answer... im sick of randomly having to pull off the road


Could be a few differant things. Coil and/or the igniter, fuel pump breaking down, map sensor. Unless you know how to test these parts yourself its hard for anyone to help fix it over the net.

LOL Thanks, I must have missed that one!

sublime0407

yeah its up at the shop as we speak lol but its prob not anything in the fuel line because the car shouldnt have even started back up all these times it would have just went off completely so it has to be electrical or some kind of sensor, but the sensor doesn make sense because no CEL is on o well waitin for the call to see whats wrong

i think its your fuel pump beacuse my civic was doing the same and it would run but then die out and it ended up being my fuel pump.

"goose"Jay

yea but without knowing what the specs are on it to do a dmm, makes it difficult. It could be still turning on, but going bad.

sublime0407

Okay well i guess i will try the fuel pump because when the car was at the shop it ran perfectly fine and now its acting up again i changed the battery in the car already becasue that was dying to from the car turning of and on constantly at the shop and while me driving it so i got a new one it started right up then the next morning the car kicked and then turned off i guess fuel pump is the next choice

hey did you ever figure out what was wrong with your car
i have a 1990 with the same problems, accept mine wont go for more then 10 mins before dieng.

"goose"Jay

It could be the fuel pump, assuming that everything on your motor is assembled right. Is it emitting any smoke or smells?

bella_bean

nope no smoke or smell, since this problem started happening we did the fuel pump, fuel filter, thermostat, catalitic converter, and main fuel pump realy..... we are stumped !!!

Have the igniter unit in the distributor tested. Any CEL codes?

"goose"Jay

check your dist cap too..had a similar problem with mine and replaced it with a new one and its all good now. Also check your intake sensors....map...tps...ettc. Its got to be a ignition or elec issue.
