Proffesional diagnose need it Can someone tell me what could be the problem for my 2002 civic 4dr 1.7l; Once in a while (3-4 days) my engine light comes on, I lose power sometimes even the engine dies. With full throttle I get no more than 3000 revs and a diesel sound from the engine.
Useful to know that I checked the problem when the light was on and it said the fallowing:
P1361 TDC Sensor Intermittent Interruption
P1362 TDC Sensor No Signal
P1298 Electrical Load Detector Circuit High Input
P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
Changed new spark plugs, checked the coils everything works good, also I have a new air filter which I double checked and it was clean.
Other than that when the engine light is not on the car runs smooth.
I looked on the i-net that the fuel filter should last the life so I assume that it's the fuel pump... or I don't know.
Need a professional advice on this. Thank you

start searching from code P1361 which returned me this search result:
https://www.civicforums.com/forums/3...-problems.html
go doing it and you will see that the answer might be already on the site.
Did you read the first post on the other thread you wrote this down? it explains that before you start checking and changing stuff to check what the code means. You should also find in the internet what are the possible causes for the code - just type it in any seach engine forum...

Re: Proffesional diagnose need it Ok... after a few weeks on forum and a couple of poor educated mechanics I think found someone that could help me. Not to mention the really constrictive Canadian help that I got here... cheers to you.
The problem was in the
P1298 ELD Cicuit High Voltage
P1361 TDC Sensor Intermittent Interruption
I changed both sensors and at least I can run the car while I put some money together to change the catalytic converter which is bad too BUT was not the problem itself. Also good to mention that in between what I've read on the forums and what I was told by mechanics it was not:
Spark Plugs, Coils, Fuel filter/fuel pump, oxygen sensor etc. that were causing me the problem in the first place.
Thank you.

That was also the reason I wrote for you to come back if it had not solved the case...
I was too angry with all the guys coming here without even reading first the site, but your case was more complicated and i should have been polite with you. My fault...
Again sorry...
PS: Not Canadian, just live here for a year. Just to be fair, since i am at it.
