I have a 92 honda civic 1.5 L with a stock engine....had a check engine light code 9...changed the distributor and the light hasnt came back since...but i still have powerloss issues.....uphills i could have my foot on the gas and still lose acceleration...highways in the beginning is hard to keep up but when i get up i stay up....dont know what it could be...this is my first honda....any help please

 

Did you properly set ignition timing when you changed your distributor?

 

The powerloss was already happening before i changed my distributor....but no i did not...didnt know i had to...im gonna look into that now...

 

Gonna check the timing tomorrow...but any idea of what would cause the powerloss

 

Not setting your ignition timing would cause it. One thing at a time. Setting ignition timing is a critical part of installing a distributor - I don't know why you thought you could just skip that step.

 

I didnt know i had to do it...i watched youtube videos of how to properly change a distributor and they all failed to mention that....and ima do it tomorrow but i had the powerloss issue before i changed distributors which i did yesterday...ive had the car a month now

 

I think it could be the o2 sensors or timing belt....just guessing....my old distributor was good all i switched was the ignition coil

 

As already mentioned, you must properly adjust the ignition timing with a timing gun.

 

You can keep posting what you think could be the issue, or get the **** outside and start working on what you didn't do.

Your choice.
