My '03 1.7 V-tech Civic died on me during a down pour. Towed to the house and found my crank position sensor and wire connector were bad. I exchanged both but still get a p0336 , cranks and idles but but won't exceed 3500 RPMs. Don't know where to go from here. I'm just a DIY guy so does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance!

My first guess would be to check timing. Sounds like your belt skipped teeth. You’re lucky that it’s still running.

Will give that shot and let you know. Thanks

Totally read that as cam position. Disregard what I said.

It sounds like you’re in limp mode. If I’m not mistaken, low oil levels on the vtec engines cause limp mode to engage. That’s an easy first place to check.

Just looking over videos on timing check...LOL. Are there any other causes of the limp mode?

Did you put a non OEM sensor in?

Yes, purchased from Autozone

Fail, go buy the proper sensor from the dealer
