i was just driving this morning and when I made a slow turn my car stalls and just died out!!! tafak???


Lucky nobody's behind me!!!

Any way, I went on to a parking lot and tried giving it a little gas up to 1500RPM then I let go with the pedal, and the needle goes down to about 800RPM then bounces back up to about 1200RPM then back down to about 700RPM it pauses for about a second then down to below 200RPM then and my car shakes a bit and just dies out! It died out for about 3 times!!!

I already did tighten up the throttle to its maximum range... but it seems like it's not giving any gas any of you guys know watahell's goin on with my ride?

could it be water on fuel?
or dirty fuel filter?

Any info will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

If you have an 01 civic this is a known problem on many of the cars. There are tons of posts about it in this forum.

is about the pump? or the filter? if I get my fuel pump changed and get a fuel regulator will this get rid of the problem? Thanks for the help anyway... I'll search through...

yea, thats happend to me a couple times. I dont know exactly what the problem was, but I reseted the ECU, and got a new air filter, and works great again. I think just un-hooking the power coming from the battery should be enough.

There is a TSB here that involves upgrading the ECU. It's in the first post.
