Problem With Engine
So I was parked today at my girl school and my engine was on and then all of the sudden My engine dies but then my deck light was still on and the heater was still running...It was just the motor that just shuts off? Any1 know what wrong wit it? So then I went to canadiantire to get some oil so rite when I was gonna make a Right turn then the motor shuts off again. So I turn on the key and I hear this clicking sound where the computer at? Do u guys think there something wrong wit my computer or something? Or any1 know what wrong with my car?
CAN SOMEONE PLS HELP ME OUT...

wrong forum..
Need more details.
Is this your 98 civic? Once it dies, can you just turn the key and start it up again no problem?
you turn the key? as in try to start the car on again and you hear a clicking sound.. Do you know where the computer is? or are you assuming you heard it from the computer area??

it's most likely a main relay fault. it's located just north of your computer, in the same general area... and relays are the only things that make clicking noises like I imagine you heard.... AND the main relay controls your fuel injection, ignition... so when a car just cuts out for no reason... it would again indicate the main relay.

flipthugz, replace the main relay first..
Like BB said, it's around the computer area.. it's a little grey box, the size of a credit card but much thicker. It'll say MAIN RELAY on it. It has a clip and wires plugged into it.. and will be held onto the body with one bolt! look under the passenger side dashboard.
