Stalling on startup
Honda Civic 1991 Hatchback, auto, twin carb 86000 miles
I bought this car for my son to learn to drive in. It runs well... when its going! After a few weeks of having it, it started stalling. It is very intermittent and difficult to diagnose. I have had it to our garage about 4 times so far. It appears to happen more once the car is warm. So we drive into town, it appears to be working well, then after a while come back to the car and restart it and it jerks and "misses" then stalls. Usually we need to wait 10 minutes before we can get it started again. It is very frustrating. It has had a full service, 2nd hand carbs replaced and new igniter replaced. Please help...

I am having the exact same problem! I've taken it to two mechanics and they say that everything looks fine. I read another thread that said to use fuel cleaner, so I tried that and my car started working great for about a month, but then the problem of stalling reoccured today. I'm so frustrated because I feel like it's a minor issue that can be fixed, but no one knows how to fix it. Have you had any luck?
There a hose that runs from the intake manifold to the i think pvc valve in the backside of the motor under the intake probably gumed up with build up replace it and pvc valve
No, unfortunately it is still not working properly, in fact it got so bad I couldn't drive it at all and it had to be towed. It has gone to another auto electrician who is trying to figure it out by the method of elimination. In addition to the above the spark plugs have been replaced again, with a recommendation to use premium petrol. This hasn't helped. We also had meths added to the fuel to try and eliminate any water that may have been in the fuel - another suggestion that unfortunately hasn't worked either. They have found out that the spark plugs are clogging up quickly so are looking at the reasons why this may be happening. Very over this - and can't believe it is so tricky to find a reason for it.
I'm sorry to hear that. Mine got so bad that it became dangerous to drive so I actually just got a new car tomorrow. So unfortunate :(
I have a 2015 Civic HF. I took it to the dealer and they changed a Intake Air Duct: AIR INTAKE TUBE and replaced the spark plugs with OEMs. It helped a lot but the jerking still happens some times.
CommentD4 light blinking and power loss
Honda Civic 1996 210000 miles
I've got some issues with my Honda Civic 96. One day the d4 light in the dashboard started blinking and the vehicle started jerking a bit when I changed it from P to R. I've been told that the problem was there was some short circuit in the wiring that reached the speed sensor. An original connector was installed in the car and the light stopped blinking, but only for 2 km. I was then told that the oil was responsible for blocking the speed sensor and that the transmission needed a full repair. I could not afford this kind of service so I kept driving it and came into another problem: a consid… Read complete

I own a Civic 2000 and when this happened to me, I was informed that there was a thick missing wire that connects the battery to the engine. Once it was installed, the accelerator worked properly and the d4 stopped blinking, but unfortunately this only lasted 4 days. The problem has returned, and I believe it is an electronic matter.
CommentTransmission issues after changing transmission fluid

I had the same problem in my 2006 Ridgeline. Repair shop did not use the honda authorized transmission fluid. Had to put in a used transmission and it has over 300k miles. My new 2019 Ridgeline began having transmission problems at 50k where the gears were slipping to a lower gear with normal acceleration. The fix was to change the fluid, added a cleaner, and changed it again. Next change was at 100k and I have not experienced any more problems. Ridgeline is currently at 130k miles. Plan on changing it again at 150k.
