No, it was running good.

Yes, I guess I should buy a spark plug tester for when this happens again. I just went and tried the car after it sat overnight. Started and restarted 10 times with no issue.

6/6/2017 when I replaced leaking coolant hoses. It ran fine for a week or so when the losing power issue started.

I replaced those parts. What diagnostics should run be run on it. The problem is intermittent.

The car is still having issues. Replaced spark plug wires. Replaced plugs. Replaced main fuel pump relay Checked injectors and they are fine. Replaced fuel filter It cranks strong but doesn't catch, when it happens. It's intermittent. It's got to be heat related. It just happened when the...

I went ahead and replaced the plugs. The old ones were in there kind of loose. One of them had the gap just slightly off. I didn't realize you could just pull the fuel injectors off with the engine running so I did that and they appear just fine. So far the problems have not come back.

No, replaced the wires though. Those plugs are NGK plugs and were replaced about 15000 miles ago so I was thinking they are still good.

I have not tried starter fluid. And it has not thrown any codes. I emptied the old filter but did not see any particles. If it starts well with starter fluid, what would that indicate?

I will, thanks. What is odd is that after I replaced the fuel filter, I drove it for about 10 miles with no issues. A couple of hours later I went to drive it again and the problems are back. Could there be something on the gas tank that settled during that time and clogged the system?

Yes it does. Good idea. I just tried it, car was cranking but not starting. It's got a 5 year battery that's only a few months old. Cranks strong but didn't catch immediately like it should.

I'm going to have the alternator checked. I replaced the fuel filter. Didn't help. It's having startup problems now. Cranks but doesn't catch. Eventually it does after sputtering.

Yes it works. At least it was a month ago when I got an unrelated code. It has never been disabled.

Both, but more so when the engine is hot. The grounds all look good.

The same gas I've always used. This is all on the same tank though.

There is no yellow light to check, if I am understanding you correctly.

98 Civic is losing power while driving. It is not stalling. The engine stays running. Pressing the accelerator has no effect. No lights come on the dashboard. Starting and restarting the engine it eventually catches, but it does not crank strongly and the engine kind of lurches. This happened...

The CEL did not pop back on, and it did turn out to be a distributor issue. Your advice was spot on, thank you.

98 Honda Civic DX. The codes were accidentally cleared, but I am getting stumbles at acceleration at low speeds. It seems to be get worse with hot weather. Is this an indicator that the oxygen sensor is failing? If so, which one? I am thinking it's the one in the engine, which I believe is...
