HI i got a 98 honda civic dx with a b16y7 single cam. It ran fine for about a week after about it and then all of a sudden after driving like a half hour or so it starts to loose power and the engine will only rev at 2,000 rpm. If i let it cool down for a bit it will run again. Any idea????

 

does the check engine light come on?

 

well i drive it for like half hour and it doesnt but then it comes on and looses all power and wont go over 2ooo rpm. also i discovered that if i just rev the car in neutral that it breaks up and starts popping at 3-4 rpm

 

take it to autozone and have them pull the codes for the CEL

 

Check the CEL, make sure the fuel system is priming when you put the key in, make sure your spark plug wires are in the correct locations on the distributor.

Also, you have a D16y7, not b16y7.

 

yeah i figured out that the breaking up and popping was a 2step set by previous owner but car still dies after awile do you think my coil or distributer cap could be shot.. I also notest the smell of raw gas when its idling.
i have hondata s300 how do i read the codes off of that cause the regular obd is disconected
