Need some help here people. I'm kinda stumped
Car starts but won't go over 30kms and has no power

I have a 91 civic DX that was just put back on the road after about a year of sitting.
Changed plugs, filter, oil, reg stuff.
It was running very well for about a week on the fuel that was left in it since shut down.

heres the weird thing though, for about 30 kms prior to the car having NO power, the alternator belt was spinning and doing that whine that is so familiar to grocery store parking lots. As soon as that stopped the car had zero power. The belt is still there and even after tightening it the problem still exists.


Has this happened to anyone here or is there some suggestions that might help out.

thanks

 

ARe you throwing any codes?

 

none at all, the CEL hasn't even blipped

ok, it finally gave me a code this afternoon, this was after replacing the fuel filter.

gave me 16 blinks

seems the error code 16 is "fuel injector"
guess I'll have to take a look at them today.

any help is still appreciated though, please

 

take them both out and get them cleaned for like 50 bucks...good investment. could be that old gas u had in there. i would recomend a new fuel filter after u get them cleaned.

 

ok, just thought I'd come back and advise as to what the problem was

the catalytic converter was blocked by its own ineards (sp?) there wasn't much left of it either, so I punched it out and am now running straight through until the dreaded e-test

when I say blocked I MEAN blocked, I should have taken a picture

thanks for the advise guys

 

same **** on my bros jeep. good stuff tho.
