Car:

Stock 94 civic dx coupe of canada

Start the car up (car has been started a few times today, so I dont let it warm up as long as normal) everything is fine.

Start driving, ligtly. Everything seems ok. Accelerate mildly and I notice a bog (hmmm seems funny) but like usual I keep it at low revs and shift into second, where it bogs down even more, its here that I let off the gas, and it idles ok, then shift into third (because I am going downhill), at this point it bogs down completly, and stalls....I pull over, and it wont start....so here I am. It tries to turn over, but just wont turn completely...and i do hear it priming before that also.
Any help is appreciated.

i had an issue with my car like that b4...i have a 94 honda civic, i would start it up and it starts up fine and driving down the road i would feel the car bog and bog so i would down shift, hoping the bogging will go away but then it still boggs, my car will die eventually. When i try to start it up, it wouldn't turn over. I would sit on the side of the road from 15 mins - 30 mins, then it'll start up again, i never really found the cause for this, but the problem went away like 2 weeks later, but i think it went away because i changed the Cap and rotor. Thats what i got out of it..You can try that because i think it worked for me, let me know what you think. and let me know th4e results

if you have any check engine lights, find out what codes you are throwing and then just diagnose the cel's. if not then make sure you are getting spark. your distributor might have taken a dump. if your valve cover ground isnt in the right location then this is a common thing.
