D16Y Stalling

[MIK020]

Ok so i have a D16 in my EG and now and then it like to stall straight after starting it up and you cant accelorate or anything to stop it it just stalls then you try start it again and it just turns over its like the fuel pump is on it way out but i read somewhere it could be the fuel regulator?? anyone had this problem or know how to fix it

Any help would be awesome

When cold, or warm?

Are you giving it enough time to prime the fuel lines?

[MIK020]

mainly when cold but it has done it when warm and yea i let it prim all the time still does it

check fuel filter?

Main relay, common fault. Engine will start and conk out. Won't restart. Leave it for 5-10 minutes and it's starts no prob. Sometimes will start OK, then after a short drive to the shops or somewhere, then does the same.
Next time it does it, turn on the ignition without using the starter and listen for the sound of the fuel pump. If you can't hear it circulating fuel(whirring), it's the relay.

Yeah that's what I was hinting at Ray.

Main relay = re-weld job.

[dougie_504]

2-3 out of 5 hardness. Got a solder?

[hondapop]

Have you ever done any soldering ?

[MIK020]

[JPR28610]

yeah pop, its a good read ay..

mik give it a go! whats the most you have to lose? stuffing up a stuffed relay? plus you gain a handy solder iron anyways :)

Get some wire to practice on, or better still, find an old circuit board. I'll have a look on youtube, see if I can find some useful vids, but Milo and beddy-byes time now, so g'nite all.

wat do you think a new regulator would be worth if i screw this one up ??

Well. Youtube was b****y useless, couldn't find a decent vid that would give you something to go on. That link posted up by JPR28610 on post 7 is pretty good, so I hope you can get something from that and maybe some advice from where you get your soldering iron from. If you've got a JAYCAR shop near you, would be a good place to go.

Never had to buy one. Have to try a Honda dealer or maybe Repco. Don't forget it's the main relay you want, not a regulator haha.
