hey guys i have a problem with my rsx, and its my first car so i was just wondering if somoene could help me spot out the problem...when is tart the car the car starts as if its studdering and it pretty much studders for a bit and stalls even in neutral unless i give it gas. so if i keep revving it the car stays on but once the rpm meters drops it studders then stalls....anyone have an idea of whats wrong?

 

cam position sensor

 

jdm overdose, what is a cam position sensor? what does that do...and are you sure? ive never heard of this part before.

 

A camshaft position sensor is used to findout the engine cycle position. so the information is used to give you individual cylinder ignition and injection cotrol.a lot of engine mangement systems use an inductive type of sensor that is placed near the camshaft;when the camshaft rotates...a single signal is passed to the ECU to indicate a reference point in the engine cycle.

 

oh ok, lolll you sound like wikipedia or something man, im gonna ask you everytime i need help now...

 

I dont know too much, but I know things here and there.

Dont take my word for it. Wait until other people respond. I might be wrong.

 

a problem when your not there. Something I would check would be an intake manifold leak. Maybe a vacuum leak, line could be cracked or just worn out. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with this engines (D's and B's is what I know) but anything else to do with spark, ignition could be your problem. Does it only happen when it's cold? Once the engine warms up does the problem go away?

 

When his car idles, the RPMs go down then eventually the car stalls. It cant be a line. and defintly not the ignition. It has somthing to do with the flow that is coming in and out of the engine, or the cam sensor.

 

it could very well be a vacuum leak... or iacv problem cus its corrected when he gives it gas...

 

JDM you must have looked that up online some where.

 

remember i said google before for that mechanic test thing lol. (low blow)

 

ok. 1.suck my dick
2. suck my other dick
3.suck my vagina

 

well i had this problem last year....the same symptoms and it happened to be my cam sensors...but im not sure if its the same part since i only replaced it last year..could there be any other problems besides the vacuum leak...

 

does only do it when it get colder out? does it get worse the colder it gets? sounds like a coolant temperature sensor to me.

 

he went to a mechanic. he said its the cam sensor

 

thats what the mechanic said last year....i styll have to take it to a mechanic now.

 

let us know broski. im curious to see if i was right.

 

what the ---- is broski?

 

^^ I'm guessing he meant brother.

 

so i ended up getting it fixed. it was my cam sensors after all. thanks anyways guys.

 

Rus-pect

 

obvz i was right.

 

yea i guess. thanks just dont ever say broski again...please for the love of god... if there is one.

 

my car did this the other day, it would start, id rev it up and id let off and it would stall, so i checked my volts gauge and turned off my fan and she started up with out a problem, could it be battery?? :S
