1994 acura integra turns over and dies - can run with accelator

Had a 89 cavalier did that start then die it map sensor. Also check ground wires if the become too corroded they won't start sometimes just run weird

if it shuts off while driving down the road. and restarts after 10 minutes, its usually a bad crank sensor that does this. it messes up timing and shuts off fuel supply.

Try the procedure below.

Here are the most common causes of idle surge, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) 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

EGR valve, Idle speed controller

time to buy a new van.. umm what about the alternator?

Idle is controlled by two main sensors: the FITV and the IACV. The FITV is a mechanical valve that is controlled by coolant temperature (there is no ECU plug to it). When the coolant is cold, the valve is open and letting air into the Intake Manifold through a hole in the Throttle Body above the throttle plate. This creates a small vacuum leak which in turn lets the motor idle higher than normal (supposed to be above 1K RPM for warming up). As the coolant warms up the valve closes and no longer lets air in through the hole in the throttle body. From this point the IACV, which is Engine Control Unit controlled, is letting small amounts of air into the Intake Manifold through another hole in the Throttle Body. Any amount of extra air the ECU is not expecting will confuse it and you will get either a high idle or a roaming/hunting/fluctuating idle. The principal of engine to operate is a need to have a Fuel : Air ratio of 14.6:1. You smell the gas after restart since the unburnt gas, when the engine dies, got pushed out through the exhaust manifold.
Th following are in order one after the other until it fix problem.
1- Find and replace the vacuum leak on hoses mentioned above.
2- Clean the the gunk built up at holes mentioned above.
3- Replace thermal valve at engine block identified by two vacuum hoses connecting to the Throttle Body.
Good luck.

change the idle air control solenoid. very common for this to stall the car at idle. once going it is not in use. best of luck

Ck the maf sensor. First sensor in duct leacving air cleaner. It controls fuel.
chk the crank sensor above cranksgaft fron pulley It controls the spark and timong.
Listen for your fuel pump running with key on. Mounted in the fuel tank.
Good luck

my 96 integra is idling rough and bogs when i step on the gas i have replaced spark plugs,disb cap, rotor,wires,both o2 sensors,pcv valve and timing belt water pump replaced not long ago looked for vacuum leak can't find any. what could be the problem am i missing something

Have you checked your codes to see what the car is asking for?Most times a vehicle computer will do a fuel tank vacuum/pressure check when decelerating.
