SOURCE: 1990 Honda Civic Stall out and wont immediately restart

Disassemble and clean the carb, particularly the jets. I suspect the charge light being on is a result of your destroyed battery, which needs to be replaced. Sta-bil over the winter and a smart trickle charger will prevent the problems you are having in the future...

thank u

SOURCE: honda accord 1996 v6 2.7 liter,rpm gage jump up and down

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

SOURCE: 89 HONDA CIVIC WILL NOT STAY RUNNING

Sounds like the fuel pump may be going out. I'd have it checked.

SOURCE: 91 honda civic dx. Starts, runs for a few seconds then stalls

Try pounding on the gas tank with a rubber mallet or similar tool. (careful not to dent the tank) Try starting it. If it runs, replace the fuel pump (it's nfg). I've diagnosed numerous fuel pumps this way. Remember the pump needs to be replaced, if you drive it, you don't know when it'll fail for good. Hope this helps. Please post the results.

Engine died while driving, no spark, replaced coil, now starts, idles, runs well at low rpm, but misfires when accelerating. No check engine costs thrown. What should I check next.

Change your ignition module. The distributor is a weak point of the Honda, I will always change out the whole thing than just try the coil.

My honda died on me while I was driving.I got it towed to my home,after droppihg the car in my driveway I got in the car and started as if there is nothing wrong with it.what could cause this.could it be a...

The most common reason for this would be a bad distributor or coil, the distributor contains modules and other components, depending on the type of the distributor the coil may also be part of it, i would star by running the engine until it dies and then check it for spark, if theres no spark then i would start with a coil and then if that doesnt help i would replace the dist, note; make sure to replace the distributor cap and rotor also, with coil first, then replace the dist if the car still dies out. good day.

1991 Honda Civic Won't Start

Try doing an ohms test on your fuel injectors. Sounds like 1 or 2 could be bad.

My Honda Civic 1994 cuts out as I am driving

You are going to need a new distributor. These are such a common problem that they are available, new from any auto parts store. It's possible that you may have just a bad module or coil or pick-up, but if you just replace one of these after hours of trying to pin it down, another will fail eventually. A new distributor is not that expensive and it has all of these parts inside of it.
