Main relay? maybe? no?

[J8k'S CRX]

ok so over the last few days the car has been boggy/missing and has died a few timeswhen comeing to a stop. did some research and was wondering if it could be the main relay in the fuel pump? it bogs on and off, like fuel cut out, run fine then bog then run and bog. just curious. also i replace the fuel filter last night and the car drove fine for about an hour or so (no bog) but then i get up to leave this morning and it's bogen again. werid? (already put new plug wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter,and also going to replacen the dizzy(lifetime why not)any suggestions?


(will fix before i sell, do not worry)

Is it having any issues starting after it dies?

One thing to check is your IACV, they tend to get dirty and effect idle.

Try replacing the spark plugs. I had this problem with my car about a month ago and that was my problem.

apparently walbros are known to 'shoot shit' in the early part of their lives. dont know if thats YOUR problem... I'm just sayin

cars starts back up fine if i give it some throttle, and my idel is a bit off as well. also don't mean to sound like the total noob i am but i have never known what the IACV is.( i know let the noob bash begin)

Nah you know me I only bash on peoples hard work

Since its a B it should be a little thingy with 2 coolant lines running to it. On a B i dont remember if its on the back of the intake manifold or on the bottom under the throttle body. Just unbolt it and clean out the screen. Its quick and free to see if its the problem.

iacv = idle air control valve it is located on the back of the intake manifold by the throttle body. take it off and clean the screen and the hole out.

fitv = fast idle thermo valve it is located either on the bottom of, or under the t/b (depends on manifold/throttle body) unscrew the back and tighten down the big plastic screw inside of it all the way.

be careful on both, taking either off will spill coolant.

i'll let ya guys know.

hmm, im actually about to run out and buy myself a replacement main relay as well, for the past few months sometimes the fuel pump wont prime upon first key/ignition like it should, typically 9/10 times it does on the first time but sometimes i may have to try 3+times before the pump kicks on'

i think there like $12 at o-reillys but dont quote me on that, guess ill find out in a few minutes
