Civic Hx-T

Okay after doing a few different things--

I've noticed that the car won't drive when the engine gets hot.

It goes like this--

A) Car is cold. Runs enough to back it out of the driveway.

B) Gets warm, then starts to die. Open the throttle and it stutters. If you keep the throttle open at like two grand, the car surges up and down. Open the throttle completely, car cuts down drastically.

C) Took out the thermostat, still does the same thing.

D) Bypassed most of the coolant lines, using only the IACV.

Notes: Bleeded coolant system, no air in there. Did it plenty of times too. Wired the fan to always be on. No help.

Not sure, but it seems like it could be a bad o2 sensor. Do you get any codes?

(I am throwing no codes at all. NOTE - NO CODES.

It's nothing that would be obvious that's wrong with this car. Anything obvious i've already tried.

SPark plugs, wires, all that stuff. it's nothing obvious.

hmmm have you checked the timming? maybe its way out of wake, i dunno if it would cause this to happen but maybe

My personal experiences with timing--

Same motor. four door civic. I could screw with the dizzy timing all day long.. thing is.. even if it were all the way advanced or all the way retarded.. the car would still make it to any destination. Maybe really crappy, but it never cut off.

I don't believe this has anything to do with timing but we're setting that with the light gun right now.
