running issues stumped and no-one seems to know [solved]
2001 civic a2 engine
I start car from cold run it to hot drive 30min no problem runs like it always had
shut it off for hour and start it it runs for a couple minutes then goes into a "limp" mode it doesn't have a miss but doesn't have power and wont hardly idle
i can shut it off and 10 to 15 minutes later it drives fine again
during that time fuel pressure is same and proper
i pulled o2 sensor out and it ran same
I cleaned egr same
changed throttle assembly which included 4 sensors idle air throttle position sensor and 2 more same running
compression all same and good
swapped all 4 coils from running car same running issues
I changed cam position sensor

re: running issues stumped and no-one seems to know [solved]
Have you tried swapping in a known properly functioning ECU?
Any CEL codes?
These might help

In the links I provided you will see replies by Ezone. He doesn't reply much here in the past couple years. He is a long time Honda dealership mechanic and has helped countless numbers of people with their Honda's. So, you may want to search his threads/replies related to your car's issue(s).

faulty or fried ECU's are usually caused by loose alternator bolts, check all of them holding it to the engine
