Car Forum / Honda Cars / April 2006Losing RPMs
99 Honda Civic Si. (1.6 DOHC VTEC) Ok so heres the thing. When i drive occasionally for over 10 minutes my car will start lossing rpms. For example: I will drive the car okay for 10 minutes than all of a sudden i will be in 5th gear and when i let off the game the rpms will almost instantly drop down and my car will start jolting.I am getting a constant check engine light. When i shift my car jolts also dure to the rpms instantly droppping. I was told it could be a nox/knock sensor (not sure how its spelled/pronounced) > 99 Honda Civic Si.

He -might- want to get the trouble codes read FIRST,then worry about the ignition switch.  SignatureJim Yanik jyanik at kua.net Thanks everyone.

I was told it > could be a nox/knock sensor (not sure how its spelled/pronounced) the "check engine" light ought to be a clue;get the ECU trouble codes read to see what is the problem there.
