Guys spring is coming up and i have a major problem with my 1999 Civic SiR. After pumping gas from the Gas Station, i lock the tank with the cap and jump in the car and start it and it tries to start but it just won't start. Then i just turn the key listen for the 3 clicks and then starts but then boggs all the way up to idle roughly...

I was advised that i have an OBD2 car with JDM B16AII with a OBD1 ECU, they told me to disconnect the Evap Purge Solenoid, has anyone heard of this before?

What can cause this issue?

imported_bananax

is it possible you got some shotty gas from that station :O? with all the crazy gas issues going on last few days ^^

imported_2XPLICIT

No, i highly doubt that. This has been happening all the time i thought it was just something but it happens every single time with my ride..

imported_SIR_Injected

sounds liky sh|tty gas or somthing in your fuel tank sugar maybe .. your usin 91 + gas arent you

imported_2XPLICIT

yes i am... But it happens everytime i fill up... I'm thinking it can be fuel filter maybe, Has anyone heard of disconnecting and capping the Evap Purge Solenoid?

imported_SIR_Injected

if you were advised then do so... it doesnt hurt to try.. or take it to the dealer and be like WTF!

imported_braunzcrx

get a new fuel filter while your at it they are cheap and it will help with your starts

imported_2XPLICIT

hell no i ain't taking it too the dealer i have a 99 Civic Si with B16AII Motor those guys there will be like huh, and say this is wrong and this wrong lol...

So after your car starts and runs, does it stay rough for the rest of the tank until your next fill up?

this is un-related to you filling up your gas, I dont know why you mentioned it, it's just throwing some people off.


Anyways, unplugged the evap won't do ****.

I would recommend pulling each plug wire at a time and checking to see if you have a dead cylinder. If not.. pull a plug to confirm either weak spark or running rich and go from there...

i use to have the same problem.
after i filled up it would turn over, start, and die right away. never figured it out, doesnt happen often anymore, i just keep the rpms ~2k on start up now.
I think my issue is due to the 1000cc's and walbro though, as it started when i put them in.

i had that same problem too for a while, after cleaning my iacv, it went away for a while, and started doing it again.... i changed the fuel filter and pcv valve, and it hasnt done that since....

imported_SilverSleeper

Vapor Lock perhaps?

imported_2XPLICIT

I have changed spark plugs and PCV, and Air Filter, Oil Filter, Oi Change already. I'm going to add a AEM Fuel Filter and add a wahlboro fuel pump and see what happens.. ill update you guys once i get this done and let you know..

chris_si98

HIGHLY doubt that in this weather.

chris_si98

yeah.. keep on changing parts. Eventually you'll get the right one

I've had similar problems and mine was my distributor.

imported_djtrini

Check your injectors.

I just had something like this very simular happen to me.

I bought a brand new distributor, with the same results. Change my ECU with the same results.
Changed my Fuel Pressure Regulator and fuel rail with the same results. Tripple checked and almost changed out my whole engine harness with the same results.

Changed my Injectors problem solved.


Just a thought. Hope it helps.
