ok well my gfs civic is having a problem & cant figure out whats going on , The car will shut off after about 1hr of driving when it comes to a complete stop ( the idel drops to 0 & car turns of ) . Car is Auto & had idel adjustment , flushed system , some censors have been changed aswell. it only happens after about 1 hr of driving and will only happen when i come to a light & not drop it in N .
Any ideas on what could cause this or wat to look for .. its not overheating or anything car runs fine cept for this 1 problem ,.

when it dies check if its getting spark.

check main relay. or if you are throwing codes.

You mentionned it had an "idle adjustment"?
What did you adjust?
Adjust it back to where it was...

distributor problem? maybe a cracked router or something. does it bog before it shuts off or does it just drop RPM's until 0?

imported_chris_v2

yes!!!!

don't touch the idle adj. screw.. and if you do there is a proper way to set it which involves un-plugging a sensor..

ya i dont think its a big deal if he posted here first. it shouldnt be an expensive problem as long as your mechanic can troubleshoot the problem quickly... from what i've heard i think its a distributor problem.
