Default Civic problems...need a little help

ok..i have a 90 hatch..and the car runs fine...all except for one problem. SOME days,when im driving it..after about 10 minutes of driving..as soon as you take it out of gear..to come up to a stop light,or stop sign..the car will just cut off. You can turn it back on,but most of the time,it will keep doing that...until you get where you need to go..and let it sit. Other days..it wont do it EVER. Someone told me it might be the main relay..but im not sure..im not good with electrical/ignition stuff.


also..right now..the car is throwing a code for 16..which is faulty injectors. The car is still on DPFI (dual point fuel injection)...so i dont know if that has anything to do with the stalling.

if anyone can give me some help..or info..id greatly appreciate it. thanks.

How old are the injectors? They could be clogged or clogging.

mostly from what i've seen the main relay problem only happens when you turn the car off and when you go to turn it on the fuel pump wont prime.

And if it isn't it, you'll be glad you replaced it down the road.
