Hi, Thanks for reading.
I have a 2001 civic that has developed a stalling problem. It has happend 4 times in the past couple of months.
2 times it has happened because i have been stuck in bad traffic and might not move much in 20 minutes or so and the car heats up. Another time it happened when i was driving up a very steep hill for about 4kms.
The other time was on the highway when the temperature outside was close to 40 degress ( over 100 farenheit). Each time the car has just cut off with out warning. If i try to start it again straight away, it wont. But if i wait 15mins or longer, it starts and im on my way.
The mechanics i have taken it too have given me different advice and neither of these fixes has worked.
First one said fuel filter, which was replaced.
Another said crank positon sensor, which was replaced.
It has stalled again since.
I can drive around for ages with no problems if im not stopped for too long in traffic etc or going up really steep hills or its extremely hot outside.
Can anyone please offer any possible solutions??
Thankyou.
