Default Problem with 01 civic lx.

The problem with the car is that at times while driving, it losses power and wont pick up normal speed until the car is shut off for a few minutes. Before it starts to act up it starts and runs fine. I did some research and it appears to be signs of a bad camshaft position sensor.

But a friend of mine claims it may also be the crankshaft position sensor.

Can anyone verify?

bad crankshaft position sensor would cause stalling, a bad camshaft position sensor causes poor engine performance and erratic behavior. If it hasnt thrown a code for it yet, id be willing to bet it will soon.

So as i assumed,the cam position sensor. It doesnt stall it just feels like its got a lot of lag. Has not given me a check engine light yet,that may just be because once it started acting up I cut it off,let it cool and continued on my way home. Ill mess with it tomorrow.
