I am working on a 90 civic dx that is having a wierd problem. when it first starts up it runs great but after a couple minutes of driving,after I stop then step on the gas i get very little response, i can hold the pedal to the floor and be barley moving, then once i get higher in rpms it runs fine. WTF? I just did a tune up and it didnt help much.

Also i have noticed that it gets worse when i am lower in gas. It has broke down on me twice and code 16 pops up which is fuel injector

 

i have tested the injectors and they tested good but i havent had my DVOM with me when it has broke down

 

up

 

fuel pump

 

if it was the fuel pump wouldnt it not start?

 

It's worth checking out. Probably wouldn't hurt to change your fuel filter and run some seafoam through the system, it may just be a dirty or clogged injector.

 

ok, i will do some testing but would that cause a fuel injector code?

Yes, if you have crap in your fuel system it can clog the injectors, leading to the injector code. I suggest doing those two things before you try ripping out the fuel pump (it's a PITA), they can be done very quickly and easily.

 

i had a fuel pump go out on me, but could be the FUEL SCRAPER, it would start but would bog and not go anywhere.
