Alright, since people who post in the Acura Integra section won't help or give me any info, I figured I'd post here since most come to this section. This is my post in the integra section.

Alright yesterday I just wanted to check things out because Today(friday) would be the day I'd go get a simple tune from a buddy of mine. I checked my Oil level, and it was a bit low, so I filled it up to get it normal/regular level.

Anyway, after i filled it with oil, I go for a drive to the car wash. Car ran normal but when im about a mile away from the carwash, I notice my car isn't going the way it should. I full throttle it and It does not go. I try and try at WOT, and nothing happens. I get to the carwash, and put the car in neutral, WOT, and car does not pass 5k. It sputters. After i wash the car, i figure it would run okay, but no. I still dont have power. First gear i cannot pass 3k, 2nd gear, wot still nothing. I don't know what is wrong.

I changed the plugs because they needed to be changed anyways, but still acting the same. What can my problem be?

There is not a CEL, car is a B16a3 with CTR pistons and GSR cams.

PLEASE HELP ME and GIVE ME ANY INFO. Thanks!

it's probably something wrong with the current tune.

HitF8

yeah i would get another tune and see what happens. car might be in limp mode

I'd reset the ecu .. even tho its not throwing codes .. take the neg cable off the batt and try to start the car hold it for about 10-15 secs and reconnect

this happened to me 4 or 5 years ago. it was my first civic, 92 civic hatch, after a month of trying to fix it I sold it for almost nothing.

the guy I sold it to said that I simply had the wires in the wrong places. True or not I dont know, just thought it would help.

I thought it was something with the ignition system so I replaced the wires, distributor, plugs, fuel filter, and checked the timing. none of which was the problem.

Your problem is most likely sensor or fuel related.

check dizzy, might have gotten water into it..... somehow

EKris

It's not the current tune because I drove it fine with no problems, and it all of a sudden happened. I did wash my car, but it began happening before i got to the car wash. I resetted the ECU, but still acting the same.

What sensor could be making the car do this?

did this happen after your friend tuned the car?

EKris

No sir. I was ABLE to drive the car for quite some time, it just happened All of a Sudden. I was GOING to get it tuned the next day, but this happened.

Its probably fuel related. My car did the same, stopped all of a sudden

EKris

So what does that mean? What do I have to do to fix this? I WAS running on "E" and after the car wash I was goin to fill the car up....Which I did.

EKris

up.

then you may have picked up some crap from the bottom of the tank.

check your fuel filter, like already stated, you might have picked up crap from the bottom of your tank, thou i haven't seen that happen much. Either check your fuel filter, or your fuel pump, the pump might be a little more of a hassle so look at the filter first, crap just change it, its only 20 bucks, i have a extra one if you need it just let me know.

double check all the plugs, make sure none of them came loose, and that they are making good contact with spark plug wires.

another thing could have happened is that if you have the spark plug cover on you might have pinched a wire causing it to ground out, check your wires too.

EKris

Checked all my plugs and put in new ones since It was about that time. I have good spark, so I'll be checking the Fuel Filter soon. If i check it, wouldn't gas be leaking from it?

EKris

Changed Fuel Filter, and still doesn't change anything. Hoping its not the Fuel Pump. Anyway to check and see without taking it out? Could Injectors be bad? Car feels whacksauce.

EKris

HELP me bump so I can fix this tomorrow!

jimmy o.

check to see if your getting adaqute fuel pressure. also i wouldnt completely overlook your ignition you could have just a weak spark due to bad cap/rotor or other dizzy part take a look at that too (never know). it could just be the rotor is loose have heard of this happening before

EKris

Hmm, will check on this tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it running well so I can get my stuff tuned! Will be making a trip out of state, and can't go unless the car is running good.

If cap/rotor/distributor isn't it, any other suggestions?

jimmy o.

you igniter, ICM, coil too or just swap out the dizzy for a known good one and see what happens

EKris

Well I am not shooting any codes, and I figured if the dizzy was bad, it would throw a CEL. Don't know anyone around here where I can borrow one, and really don't wanna buy one.
