Engine stall after refuel - JRSC Race and Reflash.
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2005 2:58 pm
I have the Jackson Racing Race Supercharger kit with the reflash on my 2003 Civic Si. The car runs well except when I refuel. I noticed there is no pressure released when I unscrew the gas cap and when I refuel I can smell fuel under the hood near the fuel line/fuel rail inlet. When I try to start the car it will sputter out on the first turn-over. If I open the throttle up and turn the ignitnion the engine will start after it turns over for about 3-5 seconds and then I have to hold the throttle open a bit to keep it from stalling. It feels and sounds way too rich. After I drive slowly for about 2 miles the car is then perfect and shows no signs of any problem whatsoever. I was wondering If you could point me in the right direction as to how I can fix this. I'm only guessing, but I'm wondering if it has something to do with the evap system; I can't really tell. There is no Check Engine Light, the spark plugs look like they should (Denso IK24) as well. I'm a little confused. Any help is greatly appreciated.
