Ok so I have an 04 Honda element and I'm having a lil issue with it. When I get in traffic it stalls and then cuts off. The same thing happens if I drive really fast. If I let the car sit for about 15 minutes I'm able to start and drive normally again till I get into traffic or drive fast (above 65mph).

I have my suspicions that it's my fuel pump however I want more opinions on what it could be. Thanks for the help.

Engine Idle speed sensor malfunction may cause stalling during idling and during low engine speeds eg during a traffic stop.

How about the when I go fast, and then it's like there is no gas getting to the engine so I can't accelerate and then it eventually cuts off.

Thanks for your first suggestion though, I'll check it out and post feedback.

However, I'd advice you run a scan on your car using an OBD ii scanner. Do you have a check engine light on in the dashboard?

Run a comprehensive scan that would scan all modules on your vehicle. I.e all components on your car. This would pinpoint what exactly nis wrong with the car. Call this number to run a scan. 08165520837 or 08156087872. Bb pin is 7BE1C522

Apart from running a scan which is most adviceable.

A fuel pump malfunctioning shows these symptoms depending on how weak it is:

a)Engine stalls or jerks if the car has been driving for long or on fairly high speed driving...

b) If you leave the car for a while (with engine off), car moves normally on driving.

Check your air filter first and make sure its not blocked

Might the MAF. Scan the car first the check engine light should be on.

Ok so I checked the speed sensor and it was ok, j scanned the and the only flag it threw was for the battery being disconnected so I went ahead and changed the pump and filter. the filter was filthy so I suspect that's what killed the pump. After changing them I'm running like new. And yes I did it myself.

Next up is to change the back light for the odometer.
