I have a 2000 honda civic si. As of yesterday. When I turn on my car, its at the point where it barely turns on. It can manage to stay on but just barely, it probably around the very least rpms so that it doesn't shut off. I have no idea what the problem might be. I try and pressing the gas so that I can get it to higher rpm but it doesn't respond very well when I do this. Here are two videos that show whats happening.

anyone have any suggestions on what it might be. I have my brother coming over tomorrow to see if he can find the problem, but I can't be a day without a car.

 

have you pulled your spark plugs???
you also have a cel on? pull the cel code.

I haven't changed the spark plugs since I bought it, which was about 1200 miles ago. I tried the above method for checking the cel, but instead of flashing the cel just stay on. the bad is that I can't manage to keep the car on anymore for more than 10sec so its basically undrivable, so my option to taking it to autozone to get it checked is out.

 

A sudden decrease in performance like this could mean the timing belt has skipped. You should check that first because if you keep running it and it skips again it could crash the valves.

 

pull your plugs and check them, and the timing, also autozone wouldnt be able to do anything more than the link i posted,
