car dies at stop.....
before i start note that i have searched in the forums and havent seen a really direct answear,ok so ive have been having a issue with my00 62000 miles dieing on me, it doesnt always happen every time and just started happening yesterday seem like when i stop at a light or stop sign it just dies and when im driving for maybe a city block or two and put it in neutral and coast it dies, wierd thing is theres no cel it doesnt do it all the time and i have only two mods i/e, i dont think it anything electrical cause it cranks rite back up no problem after im thinking maybe fuel, fuel filter
Couple of things to check, first check your throttle cable, may sound weird but it could be loose. Does the car want to shudder then just shut off, or does it just straight bam shut off?? Also does the car run fine at idle once you crank it or does it just do this when you are stopping after driving?? Im having the SAME problem, trust me im trying to figure this out too. Only things left to check on mine are MAP sensor and maybe throttle position sensor. I have cleaned my IACV and that helped idle, also had a K&N filter (which is oil based), and the oil in the filter can damage sensors so I am replacing that today.
i just did a altenator check myself by pulln the pos battery terminal and it stayed running so i can safely assume its not the alt, im going to check the throttle cable next. and when it dies it stumbles a liitle then just drops the rpm's and dies. i talked to a acura tech at my local dealership he said it may be that my exhaust valves have tightend up and that can cause a rough idle he said honda recommends a valve adj aroung 100-105,xxx miles but he get cars in all the time before that like 35-45,xxx in need of a adj.
