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
