Piece of **** car

I am about fed up with my civic...I have had nothing but problems, first off the motor blew three times before 8,000 miles and the engine light has been on about most of its life (40,xxx miles) Every once in a while it decides to move the rev limitor to around 4k then I have to turn off the car and turn it back on when driving. I have lost most of my high end power, and now there is this loud annoying clicking coming from my motor. Also just to throw this in, my paint started chipping on my roof around 10,000 miles...if things keep up this way my car will never make it to its 50,000 mile birthday. Either the engine is gonig to blow up or I am going to kill my car and get a new one...I might take it to my mechanic tomorrow and see what the fvck is up. I prolly will never own another civic in my life time, or atleast one with a d17, maybe one with a k20 *hint hint*. I am most likely going to RTS it and just drive a stocker vic until I get a new car in a year or two, which this car prolly won't last that long, but whatever fvck this piece of **** civic...

Well if your check engine light is on, and you are losing power in the top end and having other problems, that should tell you something. You have an engine problem and the ECU sensed that and threw you a code. Dont expect everytime to have a check engine light on to have your car run normal.

I would get your check engine light checked. Sounds like you really dont have much of a problem. You have had a check engine light on for so long, and you wont get it fixed. And you are complaining that your car sucks and are losing power. Alot of times, when one code comes on, depending on what the problem is, it can effect other things in the car, and in turn, throw on more codes and make your car run like ****.

Now with you blowing three motors in less then 8k miles, that sounds highly unlikely. So you are now on your 4th engine correct? Or was there some other problem?

Yes I am on my fourth motor...The motor was a different problem everytime, so I couldn't use the lemon law. I shot a spark plug through my hood while I was sitting at a stop light, somehow the engine miss-fired at 700 rpms.
