Some of you know I just recently had my clutch and the master slave cylinder replaced on my 04 Honda Civic. The guy has done a great job all around considering the schedule he has to work on it is before, after work and on weekends and the problems that came up. After he replaced everything the dang car started rough, only to die shortly later. The car ran perfectly before he picked it up. We are racking our heads trying to figure out what may be causing it. Any suggestions as to what may be going on?
 
Any other symptoms? A lot of things could cause that. Water in fuel, crank sensor, cam sensor, TPS, MAS, wiring harnes pulled apart, fuel pump relay not holding. Stuck EGR valve, and the most likely..... vacuum leak. Vacuum leaks are the most overlooked problem.

I knew that and actually I found that statement actually hurtful. If I knew I was going to get responses like that I would have not even started a thread. I may be blonde and not very smart, but this girl ain't dumb and this post made feel like I was stupid.
 
Could be " main relay"
Does the starter make noise like it is turning over the engine?
 
It is prob main relay now that i think of it.

I had a customers Honda do the same thing right in my shop.
I did work on the radiator,finished it then it would not start.
I have fixed about 5 hondas with the problem.
Go to youtube and punch in "honda with main relay problem"
 
You can see it on ebay

Punch in "honda main relay"
There are pics

You can unplug the original and plug in the new one without removing the old one. ( to test it).

Also,your old one can be fixed. It is explained on youtube.
(Resoldering the connections on the circuit board.

The main relay is fine. He is thinking the fuel injectors may be plugged

Don't overlook a possible vacuum leak.

Yes,most definitely.

Also here is a vid of a diagnostic procedure closely resembling a standard testing of Fuel/spark/plugged exhaust possibilities.
