Well that's not a c4 lol.

Is that like the PVC we have on the c4? Kind of a breather recirculating unit? That could cause stalling if clogged/missing pipes I suppose.

EVAP can. Not sure its exact job, but stores some fuel vapour. It should throw a code (p1447) if there is a vapor leak in the fuel system. Come to think of it I did notice a slight smell of petrol when stating up. I don't have a code reader, but clearly an unattached hose is a bad thing.


Anyway cutting out problem still exists and oddly enough can happen when I switch the left turn indicator on (not right), 
Any thoughts? I seem to remember a post on similar somewhere.

Would a reset be any good?

Sorted….. it was the effing ignition switch. Apparently a fairly common problem enough to cause a recall years back.
Found good tutorial on civic-tech site on how to clean. Had to clean twice to make it work, even just a slight amount of crap after the first clean was enough to cause trouble. Also ordered a new replacement as the old contacts are looking knackered and blobs of solder fell off during inspection.. part number 35130-st3-306 if anyones interested.

I'm sure you will be fine for a while, mine been good for a couple of weeks, but I ordered a new switch anyway which I will fit when I have time and inclination. at least I know the symptoms!! Also the contacts looked pretty worn.
