Turbo Ben Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 The other day I was sitting at a light and my car stalled. I've noticed the idle speed drops sometimes, but never paid any attention to it since the car always ran fine. But the other day it droppped to about 200rpm and then stalled. It wouldn't start back up right away but then it did after a few about a minute. Any ideas????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Ben Posted May 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Now it's not doing it, could it have been bad gas? because then I was almost on empty and after i filled it up today and drove it a while the RPMs would drop but only like 100rpm or so, but ir hasn't stalled since.

slow4now Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 It could have been you were almost out of gas, and if you were on any sort of incline the gas was being shifted away from the fuel pick up, hence no gas for the engine and then the stalling and no start.

Guest extheflow Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 also a fuel filter could cause that. especially if you were low on gas.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FixHondas Posted May 16, 2002 Report Share Posted May 16, 2002 Could be something as simple as a change in the weather or a lazy/inaccurate sensor acting up. I wouldn't worry about it unless it occurs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Ben Posted May 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 The car has been running better since that day, I've even raced it and ran at 120mph down 270 trying to catch up with Ricky (Slow4now) Yes, it does get up to that fast.....does it go faster? I dunno yet I had to slow down after I hit 120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FixHondas Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 If you want to go over 120 try switching over to MPFI from the Si. Be prepared to replace or lubricate speedo cables if you plan on driving that fast- you usually end up with a bouncing speedo from the cable/liner and lube wearing out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
