so i have a 93 civic hatch with a ls swap and turboed. when i bought it the car tended to shut off and act like the battery was dead then i would jump it and it would be fine for awhile then it would do it again. i took it to a shop and they said there was messed up wires that they fixed and my fuse box was rusty which they fixed as well. no its sat for about 3 months and im driving it again and it was perfectly fine until yesterday when it started idiling real low then today it shut off again and then it got jumped and it was fine and then i drove it and it happened again. i have no idea where to start if anyone knows whats going on or has any clue to whats going on let me know thankyou

 

does your battery light come on before it dies? does the lights dim down?
have you had you battery tested? have you had your alternator tested?

autozone and/or advanced auto parts tests batteries and alternators for free.

 

nah the battery light doesnt come on its just the gauges shut off then the engine shuts off. it had a new battery put in it right after i bought it. but not the alternator

 

you may have bad grounds, make sure you have a ground form the battery to the frame and from the battery to the motor, and check the grounds on the thermostat housing, or a bad ignition switch.

 

nah i got good grounds everywhere and its not the igniton switch. its like while im driving it just looses all power but as soon as you jump it the car is fine but then in a little bit it dies again. before i parked it for like 2 months it drove perfectly fine and didnt do it

 

open fuse box under hood, and check fuses for corrosion

 

nope no corrosion

 

any cel??

 

any what

 

cel= check engine light, and does it come on for 2 secs when you first turn the key on?
