Stalling problems at idle
alright guys heres my deliemma(sp?).
say im sitting at a light and i rev it a couple times liek a typical honda boy would.. not revvin the shit outa it.. just to 4500 rpm or so..if that , when my revs come down to about where they should be at idle.. the car will sputter a little an stall , i got a few ideas as to what it may be but i thought id save myuself from tryign al lthem an ask you guys 1)fuel filter 2)fuel pump 3)idle speed thx in advance |
its always wise to spend the 12 bucks on a fuel filter, it just saves so many headaches down the road, just an FYI
|
pull your plugs and check to see if there is anything on em. Re-gap them and you should be good. If not, check the timing with a timing gun and that your air filter is clean:D
|
i already pulled the plugs an cleaned em of any g unk there was on them.. havent checked the air filter or timing yet however..
|
does it do this at plain old idling too, or just when u rev it first, if it does it at normal idle, check for airflow through the meter and all your hoses
|
Does it sputter when it's idling if you DON'T rev it?
|
Originally posted by Protoss sometimes i sputter when i rev then the car dies. this is because of an extremely rich mixture. Sputtering and rich mixture have tendancy to go hand in hand. I had the same problem because of running rich...never figured it out, I just took the engine out and put the BPT in :D |
it does it some time when its at the idle.. but most the time if i rev it
|
You also may want to check your air fitler, and the connection to the air flow sensor.
|
howd you tell what engine code you had?. you do it yerself?

i think its pin 10 and ground, just short them. then turn the key to the point before starting.
the engine light will flash a number of times. count the number of flashes and thats the code. |
