Engine cuts off after starting
Hey guys,
Just checking ideas on whats causing the following symptoms (Automatic 96 Accord EX). This just started this morning. - I drove to work no problem (30mins). Parked and turned off the car, then decided i needed to straighten up a bit, so started the car and after starting, it cut off. I restartd the car, it cutoff. Starting again worked... straightened up the car then stopped it. I decided to test it again... restarted the car and it cutoff. What are your thoughts? (i have a 500 mile drive tomorrow, so hoping its nothing big) Thanks |

A staggering 50,000 drivers are affected by the problem, caused by a contact point in the ignition switch. It was found to be faulty by US engineers, and could cause ADVERTISEMENT a high-speed stall, although no accidents have been reported. The recall affects certain cars built between 1997 and 2000. Models hit are the last-generation Accord, Civic and CR-V, plus the Prelude. A spokesman for Honda's UK arm said that owners would be contacted in due course. |

I believe you need to look for fuel pump, rotor and rotor cap. These
are main cause of cutoff |

Or it could be the whole distributor not just the cap or rotor this same exact
thing happened to my 95 integra |

Try starting it then don't let the key come all the way back to the
run position. See if it keeps running. Then let it come back and see if it stalls. My 90 was doing that. Turned out to be the ignition switch.
