Civic EG

I've been having an awkward problem.


The engine will crank up fine, car will start fine. When it is warm, sometimes the car during idle will just turn off.

Cap and Rotor are still recently new and so is the spark plugs. Any Ideas? Maybe sparkplug wires?

I had the exact same thing, turned out to be the ECU, that needed a small repair.
I'll try and find out what it was exactly, was supposed to be a flaw in more then a few OBD1 ECU's.

Tried swapping the distributor already?

is it supttering out from too low of RPM or just flat out suddenly quitting?

mine does the same thing, it will start up fine idle around 800 after started but when warm idels really low, shakes but mine does'nt die. i changed the plugs but the wires and cap etc look fine

turns out to be a bad connection to my mapsensor.

try your alternator? maybe ifs gone bad? this probably isnt it.. but also try throttle body cleaner? maybe your throttle body is gummed up.
