Engine stalling
 
I was at a stop sign, put the shifter in neutral position, foot on the brakes, and sudden the engine shakes and rpm's drops!! I had to put my foot on the gas to keep the rev's up... has anyone had this situation before??? I drive a 2002 civic lx coupe manual tranny.... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

no, never happen, maybe you didnt shift to the right position, like have way in neutral and half way in gears?

I've also never had that happen. What mods have you done?

that happened to me........ once anyway... i started my engine and after 5 sec. of idling... my rpm drops to 100-200 and the engine started to shake like as if it was gonna die out... but it didnt.. it went back up to 800-900 after a sec or soo... since then.. it never happened... i also drive a 2002 coupe LX manual...

Well try resetting your ECU...if that doesn;t fix it.. Take it to the dealer!!

i had the same thing happen to me...... stopped at a light, put it into neutral, foot off clutch, then car started to shake..... but the werid thing is, the rpm was at 500 or so........... then i thought i didn't fully shift into neutral, so i clutched in again to see if the prob would go away, but it stayed there.......... gave it a bit of gas, but when the rpms ran back into the idling range, it started shaking again......... then the lights changed and i started........ after that, nothing happened......... hope that was a one time only thing.......... i drive an lx sedan............ anyone else?

sounds scary.. never has it happened to me

HeRbaLuS 09-30-2002 07:05 PM

sure does sound kinda weird ........wouldn't want the car dropping dead on you

My car does that every once in a while, nothing to worry about unless it happens a lot. In my stang it happened a lot. It usually your idle air bypass that gets gummed up with zhit or iit could be idle air bypass motor if happens a lot...

:_doh:
that happened to me a few times and I just give it a bit of gas. Scares me because I don't want to look like an idiot stalling while at a stop light or something. I always laugh at the people who stalls that's why... haha

no mods done on my car... bone stock... the stalling happens rarely... so I don't even think the Honda service will care enuf to fix anything... (or know where to start looking for the problem...)

I guess it's a relief that I am not the only one?? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] but still, it did scare me, thinking I might stall at a stop sign, which won't be cool... yikes! ha ha ha [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I'll be sure to mention that on my next visit to the service centre though...
