Default "Click before dying"

Have a 94 accord, wont stay running. Replaced fuel pump, main cab relay, and a few other things. It used to start right back up, but it's getting worse. This morning I started it and was listening under the hood when it died. First it idled down, then I heard a click just before it died. Sounded like it came from the intake. Could the map sensor be bad? Or is it something else?

The click could be something like a solenoid closing and not really related to your problem.

I'd start by checking for codes. The common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum has a link on how to get CEL codes. You just need a thin paperclip or a piece of wire to short a connector under your glove box. Read the code(s) and post them on here.

Can you describe when your car stalls out? Is it always during startup, or will it run well, then stall while driving?

What work (if any) was done on your car before the problem started happening/

Can you list all of the items you replaced? Were they all for this issue you are having?

You could try shaking/bouncing the ignition key wile it's running too. Some of that year Honda had an issue with them. Just another test to try to go with what PA gave you.
