It was tuned August of 2022 and it's been running flawless up until 1 week ago I took the throttle body off to paint it and the iacv was acting up so I removed it disabled it in kpro and put the block off plate on it I've tried most of the obvious things like fuel pump plugs fuel filter ,the only thing I have not done is coils and new injectors However I ordered new coils they will be here Tuesday afternoon but the injectors are too expensive to change without knowing that's what is wrong

OK, so at one point the car was fine, but now it is not. Was it fine BEFORE you removed the throttle body for painting ? If the car idles and drives at light throttle fine, it is unlikely that your fuel injectors are "bad"... they may be slightly clogged/unmatched... you might consider having them cleaned/checked. Coils could be a problem.

Maintaining a 700 wheel HP Civic is like dating a Supermodel... it is SUPER High Maintenance !!! If you aren't prepared to spend mad money to care for this car, you should consider getting something more practical.

Try syncing the timing and re set the TPS in K pro.

Put the IACV back on and enable the IACV and see if power is back.
