    Crx del sol stalling (again)

    Belated thoughts and thanks. DSB, to answer our specific question(s), I pulled the ECM, inserted the supplied Demon composite board and cut out the USB port (dead easy). The software is supplied in a USB 'stick' for own use or pro tuner. Don't mess about until you and your tuner have separate...

    Crx del sol stalling (again)

    G'day DSB, Nice to hear from another afflicted owner. I tried a lot of different internet sites and quizzed many tuning 'experts', but there wasn't much useful response and too much expenditure resulted from pure speculative 'drivel'. I downloaded Crome but, fortunately, followed through on...

    Del Sol Stalling/Restart Problems.

    Just a follow-up which may help other newbies. My car carried a well-known chip which appeared to be generally satisfactory apart from horrible over-fuelling. I subsequently read most of the excellent internet sites/posts regarding this issue and almost all pointed to the main, under-dash...

    Crx del sol stalling (again)

    In case somebody actually returns to these posts, I hope that I can claim a 'fix' on this problem (although I will still carry a spare, refurbished main relay). Since the ECM is the brain of these cars and mine clearly was a little psychotic, I opted for a Moates Demon II fitment followed by a...

    Crx del sol stalling (again)

    TCJ, thanks! Probably good advice but the budget just doesn't extend to $1200+............unless someone out there has a bargain.

    Crx del sol stalling (again)

    TCJ, by EMS I guess you mean 'engine management system' or ECM (still coping with the alien speak of newer generation vehicles). I believe it is a standard Honda Civic/CRX OBD1 with a WinFab P30 chip. No chance of sending it anywhere as the Honda shops have no idea. Hopefully, I can pick up...

    Crx del sol stalling (again)

    Britain, USA Australia - there must be somebody out there who can suggest a reason for intermittent stalling, usually on a fairly hot day and only after stopping after a good run. Runs great on the drive, and idles OK after stopping - then fails without warning when starting to accelerate...

    CRX Del Sol vs CRX

    Time passes and we all gain experience and wisdom, usually at considerable expense. We also find that previous posts were made in a state of relative ignorance and frustration. I have been guilty! In previous posts, I mentioned inexplicable stalling and may have advanced some incorrect...

    My old Honda CRX vt

    Del Sols may be the runt of the litter but even runts can grow & excel given time & care. Take Sophia Loren and all those other underprivileged runts, for instance. Horse for courses, Chum.

    CRX Del Sol vs CRX

    The previous posts are dated; however, newbies may be as grateful as I was for any info on Del Sols, regardless of when offered. My '92 Del Sol came from a mechanic owner so I was fortunate that the fundamentals were sound; however, the extensive mods including chipped ECM, Garrett Turbo &...

    Del Sol Stalling/Restart Problems.

    Re previous intro post for '92 Del Sol & some unresolved issues. Apart from the beast having the dreaded "idle from hell" surge, it drove impressively across the range until recently. The AM throttle body has no provision for the fast idle valve and the two-wire IACV seems functional. I am...
