My 98 civic hatchback has been sitting in my drive way for about 2 weeks because i haven't insured it yet. Anyways something was left on over night and the battery died completely. I boosted it and charged it over night. I turn it on the next day and it revs itself and cuts out and dies while in idle. Also it is running really really rich too. I went around the web but couldn't find really anything and im not mechanically adept so i have no idea whats going on........


thanks

 

Any CEL codes? See link in my signature.

 

Thanks a lot for the info. I ended up doing this and the CEL light comes on but no flashing is happening.....

 

The throttle body may be sticking open or the throttle cable may be adjusted too tightly.

For the stalling/dying, you might want to check the ICM in the distributor.

 

Yes i will surely do that and thanks again for the info. I also forgot to mention that everything was working fine before the battery died so i have no idea whats up.
