re: #259 Racer X

Check this out.

Hey all. I just wanted to post that I found the issue, and repaired in myself.

The solution would seem like a fuel-pump relay…though there was no ‘chugging’. In looking up what relays we could purchase to try, we found that there is no fuel-pump relay. However, there is a MAIN relay…which governs the fuel-pump AND the injectors. Hence, why when my car would stall…the engine would just suddenly be off. No power to the fuel-pump or the injection system…no run.

So…if you have a Honda Civic 1998 doing this whole stalling while driving with no chugging (e.g. engine just shuts off), consider checking the MAIN RELAY. The part was around $50 at O’Reilly’s. I pulled the glove-box and the dash side panel, and replaced the relay myself.

Car runs like a charm now.
