Hey guys,

New to the forum so this is the first post from me. I have a 97 civic ex that died on me heading to work.

Little back story on the car. Bought it with 217,xxx but has a 70,xxx motor in it. Still the 1.6 vtec sohc. Car ran great up until about a month ago.

Symptoms are as follows:

CEL saying bank 1 too lean and out of spec.

When in traffic, in low gear the car wants to buck and bog down until you start to give it some heavy gas. It only does it a few times, then it’s fine.

And the the most recent was this morning....

the guy I bought from had HID lights in it. One went out so I decided to just put 2 normal 9003 bulbs back in. Ohhhh noooo. He cut the factory pigtail to wire in a 9006 plug. Long story short, I put two pigtails in and oem 9003 bulbs and it works great.

But the problem started last night. Anytime you hit the brake, the radio would cut off then back on. Turned the lights on and the same thing. Flick on the high beams... radio cuts off then comes back on. Cut on the air conditioner. The lights dim. Radio dies. Then it’s fine.

Woke up up this morning and the car won’t do anything. Turn the switch on and you hear a rumbling close to the battery but nothing.

Im stuck as to what it could be.

Thanks for for any help guys!
