    Default Car shuts off while driving !!

    So I have a problem ia. My 91 Acura integra keeps shuting off while I'm driving. It turns on fine and it drives fine until I get to a hill or fast stop. The rpm dropp and it shuts off. It will not turn back on a hill or slope . It cranks back up once the car is even. Idk what it can be! I was thinking fuel pump maybe going bad?? Idk if anyone could help I would appreciate that so much . Thank you
    got vtec?

    Sound like a ground wire maybe loose check all the grounds to the engine and harness. Also your oil pump or sensor could be going bad when you displace the oil on a hill or quick stop it stops reading and kills the engine to be safe.

    ^^ I have never changed the fuel filter since I have owned it. It's going on six years now. maybe that is the problem. I was planning on doing that soon.

    Holy shit, the fuel filter hasn't been changed in 6+ years????

    Dang man, get on that. It's cheap, easy preventative maintenance.
