My crx si (beater) has been having some problems. It takes for ever to get started, I have to crank it for like 15 secs before it finally starts and it bogs like hell at first. I did a full tune up (cap, rotor, plugs, wires) and just did a new 02 sensor. I replaced the fuel pump like 5 months ago and tonight it just kinda bogged out then when I was hitting the gas nothing happend. I then drifted into a parking lot and it died. I tried to start it but it wouldnt start at all. It turns over and starts for a milli second then dies? What should I check...?????
Help guys...

Might be the throttle body. If memory serves me right the TPS is connected to it and is NOT replaceable ... other then with the throttle body. The description of your problem leads me to think that it may be bad.

 

I would for sure change the Main Relay. Even if that is not the problem, it will go soon enough anyway.

 

Well the rotor fell off thats why it didnt start. But now its still doing the same damn thing. I replaced the fuel filter to no avail. The check engine light comes on when Im on it and when it clicks on it feels like it hits vtec, like it corrects itself or somthing. Anyway, when I start off in 2nd gear, it pops and barely moves. Anymore help?
Thanks

 

Possibly a bad distributor bearing. Its probably on its way out thats why your getting the problems.

Also someone above mentioned that the TPS is not replacable unless you get a whole throttle body that isnt true it just LOOKS like it cant be taken off whats holding it in are break off screws so after a certain amount of pressure the head breaks off if you need to replace it just grind a notch in it and unscrew it that way.

 

I have a spare distributer off my last civic. Should I just put the whole thing on and see what it does? Doesnt this sound like a fuel prob?
Let me know
