Car stalls when i try to turn ON the car, after its been warmed up>> - Honda Prelude Forum

Ive had this problem since ive done my swap.

JDM H22A w/ H23 tranny
H23 fuel pump

Scenerio:

Ok, when i start my car in the morning, drive it for a while, lets say 45 mins, turn OFF the car, then try to turn it back ON right away, it sometimes will turn over but stall right away.

You can hear the starter go, and when it fires up, it just sounds like its revving REALLY low and it just stalls. Its like the cars choking.

Other times, the car will turn over fine, but it seems a bit weak.

It will also sometimes not even turn over. You'll hear the starter, but thats it.

This happened with my H23 motor aswell, so maybe the fuel pump since i didnt swap that?. Anyone experience this? If so, any solutions?

I was thinking of replacing my fuel filter but i dunno what that would help...

anyways can anyone give some input?

I've heard about this I can't recall what part it is. My parents old benz is having the exact same problem. Starts up fine cold, drive it for a while warm it up turn it off and try to start it again no beans, car won't start. If for some reason if it does start it will die or run and bog like crazy making the car shake. We've replaced the whole fuel system and it's still doing it. I'd like to know whats causing this also.

I'm thinking its the PGM-1 module

i had the same problems for about a year or so, it would do it only every once in a while until the other day when my fuel pump died completely I put a new Walbro 190lph and no problems since. Start with the fuel pump. $149

Test for power at the fuel pump. If you are getting none, then suspect the main relay. they are about $75 from your Honda dealer.
