If "floored", won't go passed 50 or 60 mph.
I have a 1999 Honda Civic Sedan Automatic.
The car works fine but there is one wierd problem.
If I floor the gas pedal ("pedal to the metal"), the car will stay at 50 or 60 (I don't remember) with high rpm UNTIL I let go of the gas & do it again then it works. Now if I were to 1%-90% pedal pressed down it would go passed 50 or 60& the rpm would go back down quick (car would work as normal).
Why is that? People tell me its electrical & dashboard related, & I'm like really? Feels like air problem. I don't know help me out. :-)

I think & I don't remember exactly but if I pedal to the medal & it's on 50 or 60 mph, I think the CEL will start flashen. I think that the CEL turned off too right after & then came back on later. I'm not sure tho. I don't think the CEL was on before when I first got the car, but it always couldn't go past 50 or 60when floored. That's when I started to see CEL.
This car was involved in a crash on the driver side engine bay, until the body shop folks fixed it.
Thanks, anymore info, questions, keep em coming. Thanks.

Wrong. Flashing CEL means misfire. Check the ignition components. I'd check spark plugs and plug wires first. Cheapest to troubleshoot. If not that, check the distributor cap, rotor, and maybe the ignition control module.
