Hi Guys,

I have a 99 civic coupe while driving the engine check light came on and the rev meter dropped completely,after turning it back on the rev went up to 1500 -2000 rpm and now it idles constantly idles at that rpm but it won't redline and when you drive it it stutters alot and sounds like its missing.... ANY help is appreciated........

Sounds like your idle air control valve is taking a ****. Go to advance and have the codes read.

Did the car die while driving or the the gauge just take a **** then come back to life?
