Loss of power after restarting when car is driven several miles

I recently bought a 2002 civic with vtec 1.7 and after I drive it for a while and car gets warmed up when I restart it after stopping it loses power and won't go over 3000 rpms until I let it sit for 15 minutes or so, please help me figure out the problem

What codes are you getting? It's engaging limp mode, which is a failsafe in the event that there is a mechanical fault.

Also after cooling for 15 minutes or so it runs fine until turned off and restarted

Does the temperature gauge spike? What is the coolant level in the overflow reservoir?

First thing to check then would be the codes. Can't really do anything until then.

Re: Loss of power after restarting when car is driven several miles

in case you can't read numbers, your car is a 7th generation, not 8th generation.
Also, moved to engine section.
do you really need that pool?
from your posts... I recommend you take the car to a shop. Internet help depends on you doing the work...
