crx92ie Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi all,Just wondered if anyone had come across this issue before. I have an MB2 Civic 1.4 and before Christmas it developed an odd issue. Basically the car starts and runs fine, but after about 6 or 7 minutes it will cut out. It will then turn over but it won't start for a couple of hours. After a couple of hours it will start again on the first turn and run perfectly for 6-7 minutes before cutting out again.I'm new to the car so I didn't know how to check the error codes. I found some information about that so I'll check this evening to see if it is throwing a code. Just seeing if anyone had encountered a similar issue. I should say that I've changed the plugs and air filter, and checked oil and coolant levels and they're fine.Suggestions welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpo Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Also see if you are getting any fault codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crx92ie Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Have had the main relay issue suggested before (and I've had it in other Hondas I've owned), but it doesn't usually cause the engine to cut out, AFAIK, it just makes the car hard or impossible to start when warm.I'll see what the ECU says later. Thanks for the suggestions so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crx92ie Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 OK, so I appear to have error code 15 - Ignition output signal (I'm presuming the MB2 is ODB1, is that right?)What does that code actually mean, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
