Ok i was on my way to Ocala today and i went to downshift into 3rd and all of the sudden i have no power. It just bogged down real bad. Now the damn thing wont go above 3 grand at all it just bogs and shakes i checked the intake and exhaust and everything is flowing fine there. The car in question is a 2001 civic hx with a d17a6 vtec-e engine it is a manual tranny anyone have any ideas. Please help asap

 

check the engine light codes ? senors etc..
maybe distrbutor problem.....

 

OK good idea
I went ahead and thought it was the exhaust and i think i was a little bit right about it i took the whole exhaust off and am running straight header and it runs now and doesnt bog down but it still wont idle right i think i will just have to adjust the damn idle to get it to not stall.

 

could have flooded it. But yea check for codes. To much or to little fuel maybe. Just some things to check out.

 

Yeah im gonna go with the to little fuel idea because it runs fine now except for the low idle it begins to die and will only start with the intake off and just straight throttle body so im gonna check my fuel lines and the filter and go from there thanx guys

 

OK now we have a little bit more involved i think i flooded it now but thats not the big deal im worried about
I have a breather valve on my valve cover that is not being nice it is spitting small amounts of oil out and now the car wont start unless the air box is taken off and the oil is allowed to spray wildly into the firewall anyone know what is causing this perhaps a timing issue please lemme know asap before i say the hell with it and kick the shit out of the car. Thanx
