I have an 02 civic ex sedan. I've been working on this issue for a while now. The car used to go into limp mode and id have to sit and wait for it to cool down then I could go home. Id just be driving along and boom, the power would go away and couldn't rev over 3000 rpm. Given enough time I could get the car up to 45 in 5th gear... I've replaced the TDC sensor and cleaned the idle air control valve and also the throttle body. Now the car runs better however when it gets up to operating temps. It goes in and out of limp mode while driving which jerks the car pretty good.. Eventually will go into limp mode until I cut off the engine. I can turn off and turn back on within seconds and would out of limp mode. Also I was on the highway going 80 and it went In to limp mode, while going 80 I turned key off and back on and it was good to go for a little while longer. It has a manual trans.. 1.7 vtec. D17a2. Someone please help. Also forgot to mention that I've checked the catalytic converter as well and its good. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks in advanced!

P.S. CEL Codes were P0113, P1362. After replacing TDC and cleaning Idle air control valve I'm getting same codes.

Replace the oil pressure sensor and clean/replace the vtec solenoid.

P0113 is an IAT sensor fault, either plug it back into the correct intake housing or replace the sensor. TDC code could be due to stretched timing belt, when was the last time it was changed?
