Engine stalls - Diagnostic interview

Date

Place

1. Accessories/modifications	A: No modification	B: Modified

2. Situation when occurred	Booming noise, vibration occurs when deceleration, stopping, engine stalls

3. Situation when occurred	Engine stalls without vibrations as if stopped by turning off the ignition switch

4. Situation when occurred	Outside temperature, engine temperature (cold/warmed-up), engine could restart right away or not, others

Engine stalls condition - Possible cause pattern chart from diagnostic interview

	Conditions when the engine stalls	Possible causes
Pattern 1	Accessories/modifications	"Hard to start engine" or "engine stall" sometimes occurs due to a fault in the ignition system, intake duct, intake manifold, or exhaust system.(Intermittent failure may occur due to modification)
Pattern 2	Booming noise, vibration occurs when deceleration, stopping, engine stalls	The following intermittent failures may exist. Intermittent failure of PGM-FI main relay 2 Faulty fuel supply (parameter ST FUEL TRIM) Delay of VTEC, VTC system function (parameter VTEC) (only vehicles with VTEC or VTC) Delay of lock-up operation (parameter SLIP RATIO OF TORQ OR STARTCLUTCH)
Pattern 3	Engine stalls without vibrations as if turning off the ignition switch	The following intermittent failures may exist. Intermittent failure of ignition coil relay Intermittent failure of PGM-FI main relay 1 Intermittent failure of PGM-FI subrelay Intermittent failure of ETCS control relay
