So its been awhile since ive been on and ive done some minor stuff to my car but anyway about two weeks ago my tensioner pully seized up i fixed it and then just today my check engine light comes on and i feel like i lose power i tryed to accel and i got three real bad jerks then it stoped but now even in nutreal or part my car cuts out at 3500 rpms in stead of 5500 what could the problem be.... really would like some help before i go to shop if anyone has any ideas plz hit me up.....

 

any one 16 people looked but no comment

 

If you're mechanically inclined, I would check the ICV (idle air control valve) located underneath the throttle body and clean it. But I don't know if that causes a CEL to come on. Your symptoms are similar to my ICV issues, hence why I'm suggesting it. A little more description might help us out in giving a better educated guess as to what's going on with your car.

Does your rpm's move up and down by itself while in neutral or park?

 

in park and neutral it sits around 900 to 1000 rpms... cant really explain it much there was a sort of gas smell when the light came on and im going to have my dad look at it im some what mechanically inclined but more so in classic cars and trucks....

 

Also my car is from Texas and so the thermostate is set way outta wack for this climate where it is really cold and even running for like ten minutes just barely get it to the c I think I have seen it once in the middle when I had it in the summer

 

so no one really got any input yet havent been able to look at car yet but something else it does is when im driving if i accel to hard or get up to 3500 it hitss hard and jerks and dont wanna push past it.

 

Sounds like your thermostat is bad, they're notoriously bad in our cars. There's a way to test it by putting it in hot water and seeing if it opens, there are writeups on here about it.

 

You said u replaced the tensioner pulley.. maybe when it was seized, the timing belt skipped a couple of teeth... So the cam and crank is not aligned, giving it horrendous symptoms and not burning all its gas.. thus the gas smell. Check if the cam and crank are aligned, check the timing belt for damage.

Just a guess here. The best is to get the code read.

 

so i got the code read and it was p1259 well that is a number f things so i bought a part that wasnt the problem take it to a honda dealer to sit for three hours try to figure out the problem and they think but not sure thats its the ECM and they cant do it cuz its an acura. would the ecm have anything to do with the engine cutting out around 3500 rpms or is it the vtec solenoid like the trouble code says it could be need incite asap

 

sounds like limp mode if it cuts out at 3500 to 4500 instead of red line

thats a sign of low oil pressure, check your oil

if your oil is fine, it could just be the vtec solenoid, easy fix

 

well my problem was fixed by 4.49 marvel mystery oil.. after spending wasted 3 hours at dealer them telling me its the ecm i take to guy about 60 years old family friend he told me go gt some oil and what do u know she runs fine ..
