Unless it's something I've never heard of, it's unlikely to be the
alternator.

Stalling is a typical Honda problem with common causes:

-------------------­--------

The only thing we don't know about your new car is the mileage. You may
not have to change the spark plug wires. They seem to last forever. The
oil pan leak is often no worry either. Since the vehicle is new-to-you,
you should probably run a can of injector cleaner thru it, OR a couple
tanks of Gasohol, to clean out any sludge or water in the fuel system.
This may well cure the stalling. Read the owner's manual and look thru
the previous service records to get an understanding of what should be
done. If it was serviced at a Honda dealer (we don't know what country
you're in), they are very helpful and might give you reprints of recent
work orders. Again, depending on the mileage, the tranny fluid might
need to be changed, and the Timing Belt might be overdue.

 The mileage on the honda is 109k and the car is in MN, USA. The
transmission fuild and the timing belt have been changed by the
previous owner.

Another development since the post, it stalled when it was idling in
the garage this morning (I usually let the car warm up for a couple of
minutes before driving) but didnt stall while running (7 mile journey)

What speed was the engine turning when it was warming up?

If cold, it should have flared to about 1,500-1,700rpm on a start, then
settled to about 1,300-1,500rpm, then dropped steadily as the car warmed
up, until it hit 700rpm or so.

Does it idle at a constant speed or does the idle cycle up and down a few
hundred revs?

What sort of throttle response do you get when you gas it? Any hesitation?

Does it drive better when warm or cold?

Does the temperature gauge get up to the half-way mark within 5-7 minutes
or so?

How is your heater output when full-warm?

Is it an automatic or a manual?

Need to know more here.

 Some more updates based on a 5 miles drive I had just now.

1. This happened 4 miles after I started off and the car stalled even
when I was not braking. (So things have changed today, car stalled
during idling and while running at 50mph)

2. The "check engine" lights came on. I pulled over, restarted the car
(as per instructions in the manual), the "check engine" lights no
longer came on and it ran without problems from there.

Also, I was browsing through some other posts and saw a post mention
something called the PCV valve. Could this be a problem?

A blocked PCV valve will not cause stalling. It will cause oil to be pumped
into the intake manifold through the crankcase breather, and eventually
past the engine seals, causing leaks onto your driveway.


We need that error code from the Check Engine light:
Directly beneath the glove box there is a 2-prong connector clipped to a
holder (might be blue). Short the two pins with a bent paper clip, then
count the blinks of the Check Engine light. There may be long and short
blinks, and the sequence will repeat. Report that back here. It could give
us a clue.


Aaaaand, more questions:

1) So the car stalls both when you are idling at a light AND while you are
cruising at a fixed speed?

2) Does it stall when **FULLY WARMED UP**? (That means driving it for AT
LEAST 15 or 20 minutes.

3) When it dies, does it appear to be having trouble (shaking, sputtering,
etc) or does it just die out of the blue?

4) When it stalls at idle, do the revs appear to jump up and down, or are
they rock steady right up to the point when the engine dies?

5) When it stalls at speed, does the car seem to sputter or shake bfore it
dies, or does it just cut out?

6) Does it always restart on the first turn of the key, or does it require
extensive cranking before it fires up?

7)

Will give this a shot and report back when I have the results
Aaaaand, more questions:>
1) So the car stalls both when you are idling at a light AND while

I guess I must have confused you, so let me rephrase
Stall when braking to stop - around 5 times (over the last 2 weeks)
Stall when idling in garage - 1 time (today morning)
Stall when cruising on the highway - 1 time (today afternoon)
2) Does it stall when **FULLY WARMED UP**? (That means driving it for
LEAST 15 or 20 minutes.>
I think I have driven the car for longer than 15-20 mins only 3 times
until now. And it has NOT stalled on any of these rides.
3) When it dies, does it appear to be having trouble (shaking,
sputtering,> etc) or does it just die out of the blue?>
It dies out of the blue
4) When it stalls at idle, do the revs appear to jump up and down, or
they rock steady right up to the point when the engine dies?>
As mentioned earlier, this has happened only once (today morning) and I
wasnt in the car when this happened. So, I dont really know.
5) When it stalls at speed, does the car seem to sputter or shake
bfore it> dies, or does it just cut out?>
It just cuts out.
6) Does it always restart on the first turn of the key, or does it
require> extensive cranking before it fires up?>
Usually it is extensive cranking. (NOTE: It was extensive until I
re-read the manual and found recommended technique to restart when
"Check Engine" lights came on. Using the technique suggested in the
manual, I can get it to restart in a turn or two)

 so, what happened to the used car warranty? Was it bought as-is?
I was thinking that you should return to the dealer and demand an
exchange for the grief it has caused you.

I had the same experience when my 94 DX went over the 100,000 miles.
Except that it wouldn't start back up, which is different from your
situation.

The mechanic replaced the entire distributor. It works great now.

 A quick question before I get the EACV cleaned up - Are EACV and
Igniton output related??

The reason I ask this is according to
http://autorepair.a­bout.com/library/ts/­obd-i/bl-dtcs-58a.ht­m the error
that we got i.e. error 15 means

15 Ignition Output Signal.

 Thanks for all your help Tegger

One last question thats still on my mind is - Can a bad wire/igniter
explain all the symptoms that my car has had (I mean can it stall the
car when it is idling, stopping or cruising)??

I will run through the flow chart sometime this weekend and report my
findings and (hopefully!!!) the problem will be fixed *fingers crossed*
