Having car problems?

Question:
I have a 90 Accord. It has been turning off on me while I am driving. It wont start back up until I have waited awhile. This only seems to happen in the daytime when it is hot. At night, I dont have any problems. The temperature gauge says the temp. is good so I dont think its overheating. I have also changed the thermostat. When it turns off and I'm trying to turn it back on I cant hear the fuel pump go on. I dont know if it is a problem with the fuel pump because it only happens in the daytime when it is hotter. I have changed the fuel filter and the pump is fairly new. Please help.

Wich engine is better? a KA24DE-T or a SR20DET of a silvia s15?

Sounds like your pump relay is over heating and cutting off. Locate the relay and replace it. It is most likely located in the engine bay of the car. I had a 1990 Taraus that did this. I replaced the relay and it resolved the issue.

try to drain your radiator and coolant and see if theres anything not right then fill it back up with new coolant.

Which car is better Audi A4(96-01) or Volkswagen Passat(96-01)?

This may be the result of a faulty ignitor (solid state device in or near distributor). This happened to my '89 Probe and several other cars belonging to friends and family. The characteristics change as the device heats up, causing the engine to quit. After the device cools off, the characteristics return to normal. With my Probe, it would run fine out on the highway because of the cooling effect of the wind, but would stall in traffic.

Which car do you think is the best, porsche or ferrari?


There are also other sensors that are sensitive to heat when they go bad. If you take your car to AutoZone or Advance Auto, they can read any error codes (indicated by the "check engine" light staying on); these codes will tell you what components are bad. You can also purchase a Haynes manual there for your car for less than $20. Also, you might be able to buy a used shop manual on ebay for cheap; a lot of shops sell them after the cars are over ten years old.

You can probably find a forum on the internet devoted just to Hondas that you could search for specific information. The one that I use for my Probe is called Probetalk.

What is the time taken by a car to come to rest, after applying the brakes...?

yes it may be a computer malfunction... every car has a computer that runs off a basic program that acts as the mind of the car. I would suggest for you to unhook/unplug the positive terminal on you cars battery. Take it off, leave it off, and keep it away from the battery terminal being careful to avoid sparking ( sparking may disassemble a fuse ). Wait approximately fifteen minutes until you replace the cable back on the terminal. Then wait a few minutes before turning the ignition. After its started,.try it out and see what happens...good luck!! Note: Tempterature changes in weather can also affect one of the many censores that send information to the computer...after doing any changes to the car (ex. thermostat ) the computer sometimes needs to be reset. **KINGPIT**
