Hey guys my car today started bogging all of a sudden and the check engine light came on. I was shifting for the past 3 days ive had it at 3500 rpm. The night i drove it home, it was bogging and not wanting to make power over 100 km/hr and the check engine light was on. Then the next day the check engine light wasn’t on, in 2nd gear i engaged vtec and it was working. When i had it sat night mark told me the vtec was not working. So after the light was not showing i wanted to see if it worked.
So no matter what my car will not GO OVER 3000 rpm it cuts out and backfires. Im wondering what you guys think it may be or what you have experienced i just got this car on the road it been sitting for like 2 yrs. I think fuel filter may be plugged, my cat was new i had it put on 1 year ago and i used it for like 2 weeks. Im thinking not enough fuel or spark is going, the rotor and cap may be dead on my §§§§§. Or maybe it something to do with vtec im confused. any help would be great. I figured this would happen due to the car sitting for so long problems occur.
ok thanks im going to check tommrow , thing is my car sat for like 2 years. could the §§§§§ rotor and cap or set screw in §§§§§ cause this, causing the ecu to throw a code.
When I had this program with my car not going over 3000, it was the distributor. Luckily I had a spare distributor and that cured the problem. You can try changing the cap and rotor or spark plugs first. Good luck
your rite its the distributor.
the teeth in the inside are off 5 teeth are gone. someone jammed the wrong rotor in the car, and it melted because it was predenonating firing the wrong cylinders. So time for new distrubutor going to cost 230 at cost, 550 bucks my price.
All you need is the shell you don’t need a brand new distributer.
You can swap over all the parts. Or you can use a LS one, but will have to cut off one of the mounting points in order for it to work.
Good Luck .
when it cuts at 3000 rpm the ecu is in limp mode, because there is a bad problem…but glad you found the problem, just try find a cheaper solution to changing the whole §§§§§, your wallet will thank you
so i fixed the problem, the §§§§§ i bought didnt fit my car but the rotor and cap i got new for my old §§§§§ fit on the new §§§§§. Anyways my §§§§§ old 1 is a obd o jdm sir. 1989-1991 civic, The §§§§§ i got new 1 was a dohc 1991 civic. SO we took the teeth wheel that spins around and replaced it on the old §§§§§. We then put it back together and started the car, and bam it fires up and idles mint. no check engine light. No we didnt reset ecu it was dark out and couldnt see as is. I then proceed home shifting at 3000 rpms. I then go to ymca to park it, and then check engine light comes on. Car ran fine didnt loose power. But i said fuck it im going to drive it home just incase. So tommorw going to figure what the code is and fix it, and fix the power steering line. I fixed the main problem., now need to see what the engine code is and go from there.
