Throttle body cleaning
ivac cleaned
Last night on my way back from Malad with my Girl friends family in the car , i missed a really bad accident , it started this way - after the signal on the Highway , i went through all the gears 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th changed all gears after 2k rpm , while on the 5th gear nearing 80kmph, the problem began , the car just would not move any faster , and the speed just kept dropping forcing me to down shift ,
Very cautiously tried to move to the last lane to let the cars in the fast lane move ( i moved to the 3rd last lane near the parking lane ) and was finally getting on to the parking lane on the highway, when a speeding car which was speeding in the wrong lane screeched behind me just missing smashing my car from the back, all this happened at night - my parking lights were on soon as the problem cropped up. ( the incident was very embarassing for me since my to be inlaws were there , i guess you know what i mean)
This loss in power went on for 10 minutes.
Whenever this happens i smell something burning, dont know what exactly this is.
I need to solve this urgenlty , cant sleep to well at night thinking about it. please:saved up a lot to buy this car.
Thanks.

Well
does this problem occurs when AC is switched OFF to?
if does
i have my huge doubts on one of the engine management system sensors going weak and whenever due to high temperatures it gives faulty reading to the ECM, ECM thinks that its wrong reading and goes into LIMP IN mode which limits the engine power or at times cuts engine power drastically to save the engine.
Since O2 sensors conking up is very common with OHC you can try borrowing an O2 sensor from an OHC owner who is not suffering from this problem, interchange the sensor and observe.
Also check your fuel pump after its heated up, check the fuel pressure after it gets heated up this could also be the source of your problem.
Do report back
Might wanna get the ignition coil checked as well. It's rare, but i've seen OHC's with this issue.

The ignition coil usually just dies instead of fooling around.
Try replacing plug wires
I suppose this RPM issue is faced by most of OHC owners atleast here on forum.
@KSM: please let me know what was done once your get your car fixed, may help me too.
@Ryan: Please share what all was done to resolve the issue with your car.
asking once again, can I get IAC sensor alone? is it okey to buy original from outside Honda a.s.s (if the supplier is reliable)??
Please guys throw some light over it.
UPDATE – The Throttle Positioning Sensor is faulty ,
Got it confirmed from the Garage (trying to source one currently )
Any suggestions from where ?
Currently searching online too, but have no idea if it will be the right part , so will rely on the Gurus to help here
Went to Pune for the weekend , it did give trouble 3- 4 times on the way to Pune, But on the way back it did not occur at all.
I will be getting the car scanned in the next 4 days,
Cheers!
PS : Im Dying to mod the car , but until i get basic mechanics to function, there is no point.

Yes , this is what all the Mechanics said, the OHC coil has a very good life span, they have never heard of one conking off :thumbs up
@Pranav.... Can i get IAC sensor alone? Any idea of cost?
I probably have a couple in spare. Let me check. I'll let you know in a day.
Hey Pranav
Have been waiting for your reply.
Can I also get a TPS??
PM me the price of both TPS and IAC sensor.
Thanks!

The Problem has stopped
SOLUTION - Did nothing just went for a long drive to Pune & back after that th problen has not occured , crossed fingers !
Till last week my temp gauge was working properly and since the last week its been on zero. Could there be a loose connection somewhere and how can i check it.
If at all the part needs to be replaced, is it easy to source and how much would it cost. I am running the car confidently as till date in the last 6 months since i got it the temp gauge needle has never crossed the halfway mark.
Please help.
Got the Front Suspension Changed New tyres & alloys put too 195/65/R14
The Loss in power problem resolved.( just healed automatically)
Thank you KSM aka Kaushik for you help, cheers to you Bro.
Ok, now this is spooky but even I am facing this "loss of power" in my VTEC.
This happens usually within few minutes of starting and moving the car.
Steps:
1. start the car
2. Start driving the car
3. By the time I am in 3rd gear (this has nothgin to do with gear - that's my belief), but it usually takes that much amount of time.
4. The car start stalling. It is as if there is no petrol reaching the engine.
5. I press the clutch and rev, the engine revs.
6. release the clutch, and again the engine starts stopping.
7. Press the clucth, the engine becomes normal.
8. Do this 2-3 times and everything becomes fine.
9. doesn't repeat during the journey.
BTW my o2 sensor is not working.
But all this happens before the engine malfunction light comes on.
Curiously, this doesn't happen everytime.
I used to face this 'Loss of power' in all gears. Cruising on the highway at 100kmph and suddenly the power is gone and then back in maybe 2 seconds. One day when my brake light switch was stuck at night, i had disconnected the battery and kept it like that overnight. Got the brake light switch issue resolved next day. Post that i guess the ECU got reset and this issue has never occurred again. You can try this.
