How are you guys? Well I flushed my radiator and coolant today I replaced both hoses and put 50/50 coolant.After that I changed the oil.My ? is I went to drive it and I'm at the light and the car just stals like turns off its an (auto) btw.I put it in neutral turn it back on and the check engine light is on I'm like wtf.So I pull into a parking space put it in park and let it run and feels like it wants to turn off like the rpm's keep jumping like its hesitating to run, after not even 2 mins it turns off.I put a hose and rinsed out the radiator when I was draining it then I rinsed off a little that overflowed onto the transmission.Do you guys think I got water in a sensor or the maf is messed up?Thanks guys any help I will appreciate it.

Any leaks anywhere? Maybe you accidentally hit something.

Double check all the connections, maf etc. could have had something fall off or there is some water in one of the connectors.

anyone else?

It sort of reminds me of seafoaming an engine, where you put the stuff in the brake booster tube and the engine wants to die. So maybe a tube is loose somewhere. Have someone start it for you and listen to the engine and tell us what you hear.

You possibly could've messed up a sensor, I'd use a scan tool from an auto parts store to see what is setting off your check engine light.

i haven't done this yet on these cars but with Honda you have to bleed the coolant lines or else you car will throw a cel and make the idle all crazy(it will rev up and down)

i have seen this happen 100s of times on Honda's

if it is there will be a bleeder valve on the top coolant line ...and all you do it let pressure build up and bleed it tell the air is gone(bleed it like 4 times to make sure)


hope this helps man

No, our cars don't need this - you just have to check the fluid level for a couple of days afterwards and top it off.
