Little info about my car: laid In the sun for a year until about June when I took it to get smogged, which it fail timing. had mechanic adjust timing to pass smog, which it did but after that it took a few extra seconds to get engine started. My car also has a leaky fuel injector hose/wire.
Now to my problem, the car seems to die at random times on the freeway when when I pull the clutch out from ~3000RPMs. I was able to let the clutch In and it started once from the momentum of the car but tonight I let the clutch in and when I punched the gas It did not seem to respond. I was able to get the gas to respond when I let the clutch I'n 4th gear.
I drive my Honda only to work and it seems to die once on the freeway every time I go to work like described above. And when I drive home at night with headlights on it seems to dies once on free way and once In the same spot every night when I get off the freeway I have to go up a large hill(might be hard on engine idk) and when I get to the top it always dies when I pull the clutch out when approching the stop light at the top of the hill.
Could this issue be a timing issue? The work the smog shop did is covered by a 3 month warranty. Or could this be from the leaky fuel injector? Idk any help would be greatly appreciated this is my main issue with my car and I want to be sure I'm safe.
Oh and every time I try and start the car after getting to top of hill it always takes to long to start to where I'll hear a grinding noise after holding the starter a long time. I usually have to turn headlights and radio off to get it to start. Thanks, sry if I'm beating a :deadhorse:
