I have a 91 honda civic dx hatch with a d15b and sometimes after driving it for a little while and start it back up it will not go over 1500 rpms. it will die as soon as it goes over then idle again....acts like rev limiter.Anyone have any idea what it can be. Possibly computer needs to be reset or something?

 

Swap that shit K20 POWER BUDDY

 

ya i wish....just need to get this runnin now as it is for daily driver.

 

I dont know if Honda's have MAF's or what but if one is messed up on a 240sx it acts like a rev limiter at around 2500rpm

 

not MAS, they have a MAP.

 

how do u fix that?..and the battery has to be jumped started eac time u want to start even if the car was runnin for an hour.

 

You probablly need a new battery, and for the running like crap part. Go to the passanger side foot well. Lift up the carpet (just under the glove box sorta), there will be a gold coloured cover, unbolt that, prolly 4 10mm nuts, then there will be a box which is your computer to run your car, which will most likely have a light flashing. This flashing light tells the driver or mechanic what is wrong with the car, in a way. So count the number of times it flashes then let us know, and one of us will look the code up for you and help you. Hope this helps bro.

 

Sounds like you have a charging system issue, beings that you have to jump start the car. As far as the not going over 1500 rpm's check the pick-ups in the distributer. Also check all grounds, and verify that the map sensor and tps are putting out the correct signal.

 

the red light on the computer will flash 14 times. what code is it...wat does it mean? thnx for ur help.

 

Code 14 it's the EACV. Electronic Air Control Valve. Hey! remove the cat converter or replace it for a piece of pipe.
