Namamatayan ang engine

[Galactus]

Napansin ko lang na pag mainit na yung makina ng 97 Accord, umiilaw ang CEL tapos namamatay ang makina. Usually, 15 - 20 mins. after using the car (kahit I'm on the road and cruising at 30kmh). Tapos, when I re-start, puro redondo na lang, hindi tumutuloy. Pag malamig na ang makina, (again, mga 15 minutes after the engine dies), one-click na ang start.

I used to think na fuel pump ang problem, pero given the circumstances, mukhang hindi.

Anybody here who has a similar problem? Am starting to think na baka engine coil. Magkano ba engine coil ngayon for 5th Gen Accord?

TIA!

It could probably be your ignition coils.

The worst kind of problem to have is an intermittent one. You may have a bad ignition switch, it could be the distributor or it could be anything in between. Until the part fails consistently (it probably will happen at the worst time) you can either replace parts until you find the right one or try and diagnosis when it fails. Other than that you can leave it with a mechanic and let them drive it until it fails. Honda does have a history of bad distributors, but I would not replace it until I know it is bad. I would not travel with a vehicle like this, its bad enough being stuck in town, much less out of town.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

CEL wil log a fault in the ECU, and keep it stored as long as you don't disconnect the battery. This can be scanned by Honda or any good workshop which has scan capability; and the fault will immediately be pinpointed, no guesswork.

You won't be guessing if it's the fuel pump, coil, etc. that's causing the problem... Trial and error parts replacement will cost you more in the long run, and you may not even be able to correct the true fault.

I dont know if your lucky day, but my friend have a same problem intermitently shut off the engine if is hot. Change the MAIN RELAY and this is what exactly he did soon after an Honda tech., advice him to change it. Problem solve.

you should have the code checked nga. normally, the ignition coil will not throw a trouble code which will cause the cel to come on. more likely it the ckp sensor but this is built into the distributor which means that if yun yung problem, you will have to buy a whole distributor to fix the problem.

before you do that though, be sure... check the code.

Update ko lang tong thread na to...

Had my main relay changed last week, pero surplus din. Well, so far, I think that did it. Drove over 30 kilometers since changing it, and the engine hasn't stalled yet.

It's still under observation, pero mukhang ok na nga...thanks to Bambino and V6dreamer for the tip.

you're welcome .

by the way , i'm going to open a specialized shop in las pinas area . it should be in 2 - 3 months time .

i'm specializing on AC,ELECTICAL ,ALTERNATOR STARTER REBUILDING , AND EFI DIAGNOSTICS .

that also includes general repairs .

Aaargh! Guess I spoke too soon.

Namatayan na naman ako kanina ng makina, three times in fact! Same symptoms, tapos nung lumamig na, puwede na i-start ulit.

Am really running out of possible culprits here. Pero top of mind ko, sparkplugs. Naka Bosch Platinums kasi ako ngayon, and more than 2 years na siya. Since coding car lang naman ang Accord, hindi ko pa pinapalitan. Will buy a new set this weekend, pero yung regular plugs na. Hopefully that will sove it.

check the spark . if no spark suspect the igniter

Bought an ignition coil yesterday, and had it installed today. Mukhang yun nga daw ang problema, sabi ng mekaniko. Pag umiinit yun ng sobra, walang power daw na sinsu-supply sa fuel injectors, kaya the engine stalls.

Drat, it was what I suspected all along, lipad tuloy yung 2.4k ko for the surplus main relay and labor. Now I have 2 fully functional main relays. Tapos, mali pa yung nauna kong pinabinili na ignition coil sa Banawe (di kasi dala ng tao ko yung sample). So soli ko na lang Lunes, sana puwede i-refund.

Sana naman ok na talaga. Already spent over 8k fixing this problem.

don't just throw parts on it, shotgun repair is expensive. why not check what's causing the MIL to illuminate? depending on the year model of your car there are lots of generic code scanner (reader) around that can read the codes im sure it's the best way to start the diagnosis. you can also retreive the code manually (search the internet)
