possibly bad fuel pump

AnswerOur 03 is in for this sort of problem, died on my wife while three hours from our house, ouch. Anyhow, tech says the crankshaft positioning sensor is bad ~$130.00 parts/labor.

My 2002 had the same issue. A Body control module(computer) had to be replaced that controlled the crankshaft postioning sensor. $300! or so they said :( I don't trust mechanics!

2 weeks ago my 2002 Saturn vue was idling up by it self took it in mechanic said that my front axel crank shaft was crack Thursday just past he said you could come an pick up your car all finished. Picked it up on Thursday my daughter and myself were almost killed in the car because it excellerated on its own into rush hour traffic. I pulled over called them they say to bring back on Tuesday after the holiday went to drop off so that it is already there car did the same thing and completely died engine was shaking and everything now. Now it has now power nothing.

Answer

I second the vote for crank position sensor. If it won't start until it cools off, that means the problem is a sensor. When the engine is cold, the computer is not using sensors. When it warms up, the computer starts using sensors.

Why would driving through a puddle cause Honda civic to stall?

Sometimes a car stalls when driving though water because water got sucked up into the engine. This can cause a lot of damage, so don't attempt to restart the car after it stalls. Have the car towed so the engine can be stripped down and drained of the water.

Stall or stop completely? Does it restart after it stalls or does it have to wait a few minutes? When it stalls does it still turn over or act as if power is not going to the starter? Not enough info to answer this question.
