Help with an older civic, quick opinon

adamhoud · 12-26-2006, 02:36 PM

So my friend has a 96 civic with 262000 miles on it, 5spd.
His car will suddenly stop running while just driving normally, i.e. cruising at 40mph and suddenly hes coasting.

He replaced the ignition coils and o2 sensor and fuel solenoid.

any ideas?

check the fuel system?
maybe clogged filter, fuel pump, ecu faulty etc etc.. bad gas in the system?

after it dies does he just start it back up and its fine?

could be numerous issues
is he getting any check engine lights?

It's very simple but complicated. It's either a spark issue or gas delivery issue. Good luck finding out which one though.

Any check engine lights come one when it stops?
