okay guys i been getting alot of information and ideas from this forum, thank you all. however i been having this problem for awhile now. the check engine light comes on. second, it only comes on when my motor fails to rev pass 3k rpm. i dont understand it and cant locate the source of the problem. it usually happens when im at a stop light; ill usually shut off the motor and start it back up then it's back to normal with the check engine light still on. i dont know im starting to lose faith in my cl... i hope it's not something major... besides HELP ME! im soo lost and frustrated and lost...

 

Sounds like your idle control valve

 

core processing unit ?

 

Central processing unit

But I assume you're talking about your ecu

 

haha yeah your right............central not core what the fuck was i thinking. No, i was simply making a sarcastic slander on the posters use of terms. CPU instead or ECU hahaha some people just dont know.

What's the check engine light code you're getting?

 

how would i check for the code? how would i go about working on this problem? if it helps i have a 97 2.2.

 

go to autozone, they should pull the code for free.

 

Pentium 486 FTW

 

486dxII with turbo button FTW ~~!!!!

 

hahah, i have an old keyboard with a "turbo" key

 

 

new probelm occured! f**K! when i was driving and stopped at a light i turned off the a/c and my car just died. i tried to start the car up and it wouldnt start up. so i turned on the a/c and then tried again and it started... WTF is going on with my car?!?! help!

 

btw the codes were P1361 & P0136

 

well look those up
google "honda engine codes"
those codes might be a good place to start

 

DRK, here's some codes for your 2.2CL.

I don't see a P0136, but that's in the area of the O2 sensors. It seems more likely the P1361 (TDC sensor) would influence your RPM's. Could be something as easy as a bad connection.

 

Here are the troubleshoot guides to P1361.



(P1361 cont'd)

 

thank you Nakamichi. you provided great info. does anyone know where i can get a crankshaft position sensor besides autozone?
