Hello,
I have a few problems with my civic and hopefully they are all related to the same thig as they all started about the same time. The car occasionally will hesitate during constant speed and sometimes during acceleration, stalling out occasionally. Once it stalls, I can always restart it, however difficult sometimes. Also is it stalls out at cruising speed and i dont do anything, except keep my foot on the gas, it will spontaneously pick back up and resume normal driving. When the car is not acting up, the engine is strong with no problems whatsoever, no misfiring, lack of performance etc. Recent work on the car within the last 6 months: distributer (coil/igniter as well I think), cap, rotor, wires and plugs as well as timing belt, water pump and fuel filter. The problems started after the timing belt/water pump was done, and the engine would idle down to 200rpm with the A/C egaged. Now that does not occur (with or without a/c) There is no engine light on, and i had the car read at autozone anyway with no codes active. Recently however, upon acceleration there were a series of hesitations and with each on the check engine light would come on then go off again, now it is off and has not been back on. Any ideas

Hi jawood79,

Now is the time to get a scan done again.

I would suspect the ignition switch, main relay or fuel pump to be the cause.
