2001 Honda Accord Dies When I Start it?
Sometimes my car dies when I start it. Every time it was driven and a while and it was raining. I had to give it a little gas to get it to start? It just got new belts and spark plugs. Any suggestions?

This sounds more like an ignition wiring problem. As the wires in the ignition system age the insulation can become brittle and crack. Normally a crack won't cause a real problem until you get some dampness then it can short out causing your car to stop. The best thing to do is to take it to a mechanic and explain the problem and see if he can sort it out. These problems can be a real pain to find as it is almost impossible to duplicate the problem in the garage so expect to have to live with this for a while.
Could this have noting to do with moisture, but rather it be about the alarm system and the key?
- Honda Shadow sputters and dies? I just bought a 95 Honda Shadow. I believe it's an ace. 1100cc. 50k miles. It has a small oil leak, so I filled it with 5w-50. Now when I start it and rev it, it will sputter. If I let off the gas it will idle fine. When I put it into gear it will die, regardless if I'm giving it gas or not. Any ideas on the issue? I'm stumped.
- I have 1998 honda civic that dies after running for 6minutes when it is cool outside What could be wrong? 1998 Honda civic dies after running for 6 minutes when it is 50 degrees or colder out. It will start right back up after waiting 60 seconds and run just fine for rest of the day. Looking for clues as to what can be wrong
- 2000 Honda Civic randomly dies? My 2000 Honda Civic dies while driving. There's no warning - no shudder or stalling, it just randomly dies. At idle, at low speeds and even while on the highway. When it happens, none of the dash lights work (flashers, gear indicator, nothing) and you have to put it in neutral to restart. It takes several times to restart and usually you have to push on the gas pedal while turning the key. Any ideas? No codes. Replaced broken distributor cap about a month ago.
- 92 Honda Accord LX dies while driving? After the car died i tried to start it and it would crank but not turn over. I left it alone and came back out the next morning, and it started right up for about 5 min then died again. I have replaced the ignition coil pack, distributor rotor, fuel pump, and plugs and wires. Can someone please help me i'm tired of trying things ans them not working.
