car start's than turns off (what's the problem?)

[BIGEEZ]

i was sitting in sonic's eating went i was done i started my car but it turns off it did that about 5x. wtf? :mad:

[shepherd79]

do you get EFI light or anything that can mean you have bad sensor?

[86LXItooFAST4me]

something to do with fuel im sure. check your fuel filter and pump. might wanna put some fuel injection cleaner in the gas tank. it sounds like a fuel problem anyway.

sounds like something is robbing your fuel preasure. it builds up enuff to start the car but once it starts running your losing the preasure again causing it to die. im betting its something in the line restricting it (DIRTY ASS FILTER) or crack in the line somewhere, your not losing any fuel are you?

could possibly be your main relay too. listen for the click of the main relay when you turn the car on.

when the car catches up, try to step on the gas and keep it around 2K rpm. See if it kinda stumbles or sounds like its running "unhappy" hold this for like 20 seconds no more. Check if ur vaccuum lines to ur map sensor is plugged in and also check for fuel leaks and if possible take the dist cap and see whats up inside.

It would be a lot easier to trouble shoot if u look at some stuff and tell us what u looked at and how they looked.

i got a new gas filter on it. i notice that my gas level went full it read's its only 75% full. how do i check the lines?

i got a new gas filter on it. i notice that my gas level went full it read's its only 75% full.
when i park my car in the driveway my gas guage goes up, and when i brake it goes down...so im never sure when ill be running out of gas lol

check vacume leaks? battery? my car used to turn off right after i turn it on when my battery and alternator were shit, when i got em replaced never happened again :S

Could be a bad ignition switch. Does the car shut off like you turned the key to off?

[BIGEEZ]

i think it's the ignition switch cause the lights dont come on in the dash. also went i turn the key it acts different. so what know? how much it cost to replace and how hard is it to fix it?

[Blkblurr]

I haven't replaced one in a while so I don't know the cost. It's not too difficult to do especially if you've taken the steering column apart before. You will need to call your Honda dealer to find out the price for a new switch.
