honda stops then restarts
My 98 Honda (only 48,000) five shift. Will suddenly stop on me
(radio/clock stays on). Restart immediately. This will happen usually when first driving (5 - 10 min) and has been doing it for one month. Gas mileage is excellent. I have had gas filter, tune up, check airfiliter. Guy says it is the fuel pump ($200.00). Honda mechanic says probably main relay. Is anyone else having the same problems and or solution? I love my Honda so much, I told my kid I want to be buried in it. My kind (19 yrs old) has not talked to me all week. Dr. Pete |

(unless you don't know how to solder;a new relay is $50 or more.) Once resoldered,they aren't a problem for a LONG time,if at all. See www.tegger.com IMO,a fuel pump problem would be a continual problem,not just for the first 10 min. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

Could be an intermitant distributor (igniter) but these usually just fail outright. Unlikely to be the fuel pump unless the car stops after a high speed run that puts demands on it. SJD |
