Car stalls while driving
Have 1999 Civic DX, 1.6L automatic, 207K. Am selling car. Recently car has begun to stall while driving; simply shuts off. Was intermittent, now more frequent. I put in N, start up & go or it takes a few starts, then OK.
CEL has been on long before this problem with only code PO135, the 02 heat sensor. Speed Sensor/Throttle Position Sensor checked & OK. My trusted mechanic does not think the ECU [expensive], says could be distributor or Camshaft Positioning Sensor, [also expensive], but then we’re off spending money chasing problems which may not fix the issue. I have a feeling about the Camshaft Sensor though..eh, what do I know.
What do YOU guys think? Thanks for all help.
