Hey guys I have a problem with my 97 civic ex coupe. When my car reaches 3rpms, it just completely stops and I am unable to gas the car anymore. For some reason when it goes to 3rpms it just completely stalls sometimes or even goes back to 0-1 and I am able to get it going again... Any ideas what the problem may be? and no, the power does not turn off...

 

what cel's are you getting. Sound like your car is in limp mode

 

check out the dizzy. my 92 hatch did the same thing. after i troubleshot it i realized it was the distributor. i got a new one and the car has been running right since.

 

hmm seems like I have trouble starting up. It seems like it has something to do with the fuel since when i gas it.. it sorta doesn't do anything but just dies.. I'm thinking fuel injectors... ;/

That's what I first thought, but that would throw a steady CEL and his rpms shouldn't drop.

 

You my friend, are in limp mode. In case you don't know, its a setting your computer goes into when something is tripped (CEL). It dumps insane amounts of fuel and limits your revs.
