Car stalls out sometimes......What exactly does a tune-up do?

[oblivion2888]

I have a 92 acura legend and it stalls sometimes in Park, Reverse, or Drive. Any ideas?

hmm, ive had the same probs with my 91 mazda mpv, but i fixed it myself! just a 45 dollar part, it was something with the wiring to this little tube thingy (not to good with cars) but before i got it fixed, i had to put in park if i stopped (red light, stop sign...). if it;s under warranty, take it to dealer and have the check it out, if not, a gas station may know what's up with it. good luck!

could be dirty fuel injectors, get some fo those fuel system/injectors cleaners and put it in before filling the tank and see if it helps, or take it for a tune up.

the igniter is probably bad or going bad

Have the muffler bearings replaced

Random stalling could be caused by tons of things:
bad ignition system
incorrect timing
dirty fuel system
dying fuel pump
bad speed sensor (dunno how the Hondas are set up around this though)

those are some of the basics - you're best off taking it to a mechanic you can trust and have them look through it.

That - and don't forget to flush your blinker fluid

Check your radiator oil level


Serisouly, sounds like maybe injectors or a dying O2 sensor.

I don't have a Honda, but I'll throw mass air flow sensor into the possibilites also. Sometimes they get dirty and stick throwing the computer off.


Check the relative bearings also. <-- old Navy joke.
