I have a ls/vtec setup in my 90 civic i had a slow water leak one morning i stopped at the gas station and left it running when i got into and took off i saw it was running a little warm, but as soon as i got moving again it cooled down to where it should be so i kept an eye on it and everything was alright i was coming up a hill when it felt like it was starting to lose power when i looked at the temp gauge i watched it climb from normal to the h in a matter of a few seconds so i pushed the clutch in to shut the car off and coast to a stop and when i did the car died and won't start back up it acts as if it is out of time but the belt is right where it should be it is getting good spark any ideas

 

sounds like you have a blown head gasket and theres coolant in your cylinders
