01 civic stall any1 know why
 

hi i have an 01 civic ex, stalls every time its cold out, now normally ladies are liking the car but trying to subtly start it and keep the revs past two just to keep her from dropping out is only getting harder and harder lol. Anyone know why or have had a similar problem? It doesn't throw any codes and i took apart/cleaned the IAC valve but that wasn't it
thx

hmmm thats wierd. when did this start?

My guess would be one of the O2 sensors is starting to act up. Hard to test it without the proper OBD2 reading equipment though.

o2 sensor wouldnt keep it from running. It would just keep it from running really well. Is it only when starting it? Main relay maybe?

try the tps and clean the iac again

thx for the advice, def not the iac or any sensor that i can tell, just replaced all the bearings in trans, not b/c this problem i had a naughty little imput shaft but it's fine...now back to addressing the stalling problem oh honda what happened to your reputation lol

try another ecu someone on a diff site had this problem came out to be his ecu if not take it to honda.

Sometimes cleaning the IAC doesn't fix it.

deff need to keep that music up so they don't hear the weird noises though....

The main relay will cause it not to start period. It's just a relay to engage the starter.

I've seen it before, O2 sensors causing the car to run rich. When you start up the car already is running rich to compensate for the block being cold. Rich x2 makes the car have a tough time idling.

Like I said, you need the proper OBD2 reading equipment. This is one of those things that you really will need to take somewhere to have it diaged unless you just want to start throwing money at it hoping it will fix the problem.

well odly enough since i've replaced all the bearings in the trans it hasn't done it so fingers crossed it won't again but im thinking sovxietday prob right

either way thx 4 the help every1

ladies diggin it again?

lol as much as they can i suppose

the main relay can let your car crank and not start. You see people alot of times crank and crank and crank and not start.
