1999 Civic Dx Warm Engine Hard To Start, Idle Dies
Hey guys,
Recently I have a problem starting my car after driving at normal temperature. Cold starts are fine, but after 10-20 min it starts to overheat around 3/4 high, I shut the car off, and try to turn it back on, it cranks but it wont start. I have to floor the gas pedal for it to start. after it starts it immediately dies, and i have to hold the rpm for a couple of seconds and then the rpm is normal. Also it feels sluggish at 1-3k rpm when trying to drive around. Any feedback helps.
D16y7 128k miles
Ebay Turbo kit 5 psi
12:1 FMU
Walbro 255 Fuel pump
New ECT sensor
New Rad cap
New Thermostat
Everything else stock.
UPDATE: i found the problem. i need a new head gasket.

the temp sensor that runs to the ecu can cause this when it's gone bad.
grab an ntk unit from rockauto and swap it out it's cheap.
