and post the code up.

Based on your description I think its the cat too because I had the same problem. Bad cat caused back pressure, causing engine to choke after 2500rpm. But get the code checked out asap to know for sure.

tdubbebawllin

would that do it all at once it seems like a week ago it was fine...and where is my mass airflow.. somebody told me to take it out and clean it

Skadaloz

ahha..u dont have a mass air flow(maf sensor)...u have a manifold absolute pressure(map sensor)...and u dont clean the map sensor

tdubbebawllin

i know now.. but i checked the codes..its not showin no codes..i think it might be cat..casue i just drove it and like its fine when im drivin kinda slow... i was gettin on it and seems like when i punch the gas real quick it putters out... and then if i hold it it will catch and go back to no sputterin........

Ok first you said you had a check engine light.

This is how you check it yourselfhttps://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1901557

After you figure out what code it is get back to us so we can help you. That link shows you how to do it and what the code means.

tdubbebawllin

its a o2 sensor..that wouldnt make it do that

mortificationrock

Well you are actually wrong. The O2 sensor causes problems like that. Replace the O2 sensor first and if that don't fix it then get back to us. Believe me I had my O2 go out and that **** made my car bogg like hell.

tortis

could it be the fuel filter

mortificationrock

Man your stubborn aint you

You asked for help and it has been given to you. If you can't take a suggestion then don't post here. Evryone here will tell you to replace the O2 first and if that don't fix it then comeback. But it seems you aint able to hear suggestion, so good luck to you on figuring it out
