so i had a hard time starting my car today and once i finally got it started it started to putter out on me so i revved it and then it ran fine and once i was at a red light and it turned green i went to go and it did it again and wouldnt move at all so i had to floor it to get it to run smooth again.i didnt see any smoke so could it be my spark plugs?i popped the hood and no plugs or wires are loose.once it stops raining ill take a plug out and look at it i guess.to make it worse i currently have no cash to get it fixed.
Could be a possible EGR issue?? I'm not the most knowledgeable on this so hopefully someone has the right answer...these would just be a couple things I'd check...
the check engine light isnt on and idk if it would have completely died or not because i floored the throttle before it would have died to fix it.since yesterday when this happened i have drivin my car around without problems so idk whats going on.
Hmmm. Very strange. I'm betting whatever your problem was here Idle Problems is getting worse.
Does the CEL come on when you start the car? If it was an ignition problem causing a misfire, you would have a code....Maybe someone removed the bulb?
Given that you have a built engine, put together by someone else and you don't know every detail, this could be very difficult to diagnose. Idle problems are enough of a crapshoot on completely stock cars .

i bet ur right about the CEL bulb and it happened again this morning and the car actually still runs at the same rpm but the exhaust note changes to a strange burble and there is no power.and i know ur right about my motor being built so it doesnt help but i hope to get those parts dyno tuned soon at this shop i heard about by castleton and maybe while they have my car they can check it out idk.
Well the ignition was recalled due to the car stalling, would this be considered stalling? Because I believe it's free to fix if you take it to Honda since it was recalled. Also, my last car did this a lot, they claimed it was an o2 sensor, but since it was a ford I got rid of it right away.

Your car will still throw codes like normal if it was built properly, but do you know if it still has the original stock ECU, or was it swapped? Do you know anybody with an OBDII scanner? If not, you can still go to autozone and have them pull the codes for you (Provided your car is not swapped to OBD I), if there are any.
The randomness of you problem leaves me to believe that it's something electrical. It could be any of a number of sensors going bad, and a CEL code would direct which one to check. If there is no code, you pretty much have to randomly start testing them until you find the one that isn't working properly.
its the stock obd2 ecu but it doesnt matter now because yesterday the car died at a stop light and wont start so i actually had to push it across an intersection and into a parking lot where it is being towed this morning by the shop thats gunna look at it.and on top of that a cop was pulling me over for speeding when my car died and the f***er still gave me a speeding ticket (even tho he knew my car was dead and he even helped me push it) so i have to pay for that and the repairs .fml but ill keep u posted.im hoping ur right and its just a sensor.

Really? I know the traffic patrol cops around here are pricks...but c'mon.
Is your car at a Honda dealer or some hole-in-the-wall place? I would at least make sure that your ignition switch recall has been done, on the off chance that is the problem. Be sure you don't end up paying for it if you can have it done by Honda for free if that is the problem.
no the car is at a reputable shop but its not a honda dealer. i will be getting it back today and they said they werent completely sure what was wrong because of the mods but my spark plugs are nasty so replacing them should def help.think im gunna go with NGK iridium plugs since everyone seems to really like those and the messed up part about the cop thing is that im going to the police academy in like a year and a half lol but he was a douche...can we say douche on here lol?
I've never had plugs dirty enough to cause stalling before. Unless you don't change them out as regular maintenance? Just from what I've understood through pos fords and all the shi cars I've had is there is an underlying problem from dirty plugs, like they're fouling from being maybe too rich I believe? Then again it may just be my own ignorance but my .02.

i agree but the shop said that my car was actually running a little lean not rich so thats not it. neway i got the car back yesterday and put new NGK iridium plugs in it and so far so good but ive only drivin the car like 20 miles since putting it in so still keeping my fingers crossed.thanks for all the advice guys
basically.they ran a bunch of diagnostics but like i said since i have adjustable cams n such the guy didnt want to change anything to factory specs since he didnt know what the car had been tuned to but once i sell my other car im going to modified auto design up in castleton and gettin it tuned right. then i can post up some dyno charts and see how many horses i got
