dying issue

[clumsy_smurf]

having an issue with my car lately, ill be driving just fine then my car dies while driving. ive checked for loose grounds but i cant spot anything. could it be my ground on the starter?

[Scotsman]

the ground on the starter wouldnt make it die while running , i'd check the alt connectors , and when you say dies when running , is it gas or electrical dying?

[clumsy_smurf]

electrical. like id give it gas when its dying to try to keep it going but it just bogs down then dies..have to pull over wait for a min then i can crank it back up. i just popped my hood and noticed on the ground to the starter that it looks like its been spliced together but idk..im outta options

[Scotsman]

take it to the nearest parts store and have them run an electrical systems test , its free

[clumsy_smurf]

will do

[clumsy_smurf]

none of the parts stores here do obd1 testing. so back to square one...also it isnt my altnator cuz my battery isnt dead

I would point towards the distributor, i had the same problem with a camaro, granted its different but my car would die all of a sudden and then start back up after a few minutes. Result was, my distributor was bad...

damn, could be anything, distributor, fuel pump, wires, etc

[clumsy_smurf]

Well I just redid the birdnest of a wiring job going to my ecu and it hasn't done it yet

[geoff]

my bet is on the dizzy...

[Eg4LiFe]

it is the dizzy, one of my buddy's car did that

sound like a f**k up alternator!

[CptWitwiki]

hope you getting working man! mine did this when the ground came loose but you said you dont think it is that

[clumsy_smurf]

Ight so it is the dizzy. Coil is bad in it

[CptWitwiki]

I just replaced my coil the other day costs 60 bucks and as long as you don't strip the screw on the rotor button its really easy

oh i know how to do just about everything on a honda now lol.
