Having been thru hell with this car once its 100k mi i am relentlessly pursuing a CEL solution to my problem and i have to say its reaching boiling point for me.

I have the following CEL codes on my 2003 Honda Civic EX 4 dr sedan

P0113: Intake Air Temp Sensor 1 Circuit High
P1259 Variable Valve Timing Electronic Control System Malfunction
P0172 System too rich Bank 1
P0141 Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Bank1 Sensor 2
P0301;P0302;P0303;P0304: Cylinder 1 thru 4 misfire.

Also, my SRS airbag light is on & the brakelight(spelled BRAKE in Yellow/orange) above the full (F) gauge shows intermittently.

Whats happening is when at a stop sign i have to go on green, when giving gas, i feel like my car would never pick up form 0-60. It will nearly go 20m/hr on the scale, it would make a long delayed gear shift before going into the 2nd gear, would barely/hardly exceed 40m/hr if pushed. To get to 40m/hr it would require the gas pedal to be fully exerted and pushed all the way down to the carpet!!!

My first question is?
Knowing all these codes, what is the first diagnosis i should pay for at a dealership? what should i ask for the very first diagnosis and have it done at the dealership?
I am so exhausted getting all these repairs and understanding what exactly the problem is?
Please help!!!!!!

I want to begin by thinking that the ECU needs replacement first? I have followed rules & procedures of using the fuses as instructed here to sorta reboot the systems & it has not worked so far

You aren't going to win. Your car has been moroned.

Dump it and get a used Cavalier.

you mean a 2003 chevy Cavalier!!!!! ezone. I bet you these repairs would b cheaper than the cavalier1!!!!!.....

ezone believe me if i could dump it i would then i would be without a car for a while before i can get a used cavalier. Atleast the car is running for now and its my only car.

What does TDC sensor mean? I found out that may solve my P0172 problem?
I found reading thru other postings here on civicforums.

And p0172 may be related in solving Misfirings, O2 sensor problems. so then only thing remaining seems to be Oil Leaks? Have a good mechanic shop look where all the oil is leaking from. Anyone have suggestions for good mechanic shop in Houston, TX. I usually pick AAA rated mechanic shops

I seriously doubt it.
I bet one could be found for $500........



But it would probably have a list of needs nearly as long as your Civic...Just different.
