OK, i will try to make this problem as clear as i can.

1993 honda accord 5 speed. Car will start right up, and sounds excellent.
I let it warm up a few minutes, then proceed to drive home.

Within the first 6 to 8 minutes, the Check Engine Light will come on, and the car will just die out.
If i am moving, i just turn the car off, and pop roll start it, which works every time. It will do it maybe 2 more times, the second time about a minute later, and the third time 3 minutes later.

After i get it started after the third time. The CAR RUNS LIKE A TOP.

I drove it around about 20 minutes after that, stopped at the store, left the car running and came out, and still RUNNING FINE.

Got home let it idle in the driveway, and no problems, no overheating , NOTHING.

Shut the car off for about 30 seconds, started it back up, and again, NO PROBLEM idling or driving.

It is always in that 1st couple of minutes of driving, a few minutes after that, and maybe a 3rd time, but that's it, the problem seems to magically disappear.

Can someone give me an idea of what to look at , so i can attempt to resolve this problem once and for all?

I appreciate any help i can get, because this just started about a week ago, after driving the car for over a year, with no problems in it's performance, until now.

Thank you for you're time!!

 

Check for stored codes - you state the CEL comes on so there are code(s). Jump the service connector on the pass side under/behind the glove box and report back any and all codes you get.

 

Thank you for the quick reply, i have done the Testing and i only am showing 1 code(which i guess is good)

CODE 15- which states Ignition Output Signal
I have no idea what that is, off hand, but i will keep digging until i know what to look for/replace.

Any more suggestions, are greatly appreciated.

 

Start with testing ICM. The you will need to test the connections back to the ECU.
