    Oh ya, btw, this is what is WEIRD, the engine dies mostly when i am MAKING A TURN or a U-TURN!!!! but it starts naman again when i re start it....

    Weird huh???

    Also, I took it to SPEEDY FIX, unfortunately since the engine was running fine, they could only recommend to replace the fuel pump....they could not give me a sure solution since the engine was not dying while i was at the shop .. ...all of a sudden my engine was behaving nicely..LOL. They said they could try cleaning it for P1,350 but could not guarantee it would solve the problem since it was really running smoothly with no rough or low idling......

    anyway, will start looking for other shops that specializa in Honda EFI engines...

    cheers! and thanks again also to the others who posted here......this is a great site!!!


    If I remember it right, the EFI on some older Honda engines the power loss is caused by PS when doing slow tight turns taht can cause the engine to stall. And if my memory doesnt fail me, I remember that I did several repairs like that. There is a vac for idling for the AC, PS, lights. I remember cleaning, replacing and even changing damaged hoses. Im certain that some older Festivas have this funny sensors. To sum it up, if your EFI is working good, you may not notice other minor performance deficiencies. If your mechanic cant locate the problem, you can PM me datas of your car and I can look it up in the service manual or ask my buddies in my old workplace or my buddies at Honda.
