Having problems revin up 4000 only happens sometimes, replaced transmission
did not solve problem. does anyone have a solution, Forgot also replaced sensor
could it be fuel pump

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

check engine light? I know there are some codes that can be thrown that limits engine RPMs to about 4000..

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

Your having revving issues and your first thought was to replace the transmission? I sure hope you replaced it for other reasons. The car quite possibly entered "Limp home mode". If it has, it will give you a check engine light, get the code checked and post back here to get a solution. If there is no check engine light, it will be very hard to diagnose over the internet.

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

it could be throwing a code without the light lit.. then again, those codes don't throw the car into limp mode. I once forgot to reconnect a sensor and the car went into limp mode without a CEL, so you may wanna make sure all your sensors are properly connected.

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

^ If that were the case though it would be in limp mode all the time. He says it only happens sometimes, so limp mode might not be the problem... hmm.. need more details and a code check :(

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

could be a faulty sensor connection (or faulty sensor itself) :shrug: vehicle vibrations can cause it to spuriously connect and disconnect causing intermittent limp-mode-ness..

Just pulled that out of my ass, but sounds feasible..

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

Damn faulty connectors... half the time i cant get them disconnected, and then when they go back on it's hard to tell if they are on properly! :)

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

Thought it was *Click* *Snap* *"F%$#?$#"* ??? I don't know what manual your getting your information from but mine is way better lol

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

actually, it's really *grumble grumble* get the f-- *slip and skin thumb* GAAAAAAAFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKK!!! *blood* *gentle push* *click*

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

1 connector = 1 beer. Mine are way too dirty to click anyway... Damn Canada salt :(

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

road salt = teh sux..

then again, I would have been more than happy to have road salt when I was living in WA state winter 08-09.. They didn't wanna salt the roads because it would "hurt the salmon."

P.S. I think we've officially thread-jacked 2 different threads simultaneously

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

Yea there are advantages to road salt and disadvantages, the car takes a shit kicking because of it. I maintain my cars good, get them sprayed, and have the electronic rust protection and the vic' is STILL corroding and rusting. Not nearly as bad as others I've seen in the area but more than it should for a four year old car. But I think any rust is too much haha. I have to admit though, the body on the vic is perfect, no rust at all, its all the other metal stuff underneath and under the hood. I leave for work at 4am, literally right after the salt trucks have done their thing and before anyone else has come to spread it around. I'm driving through salt half an inch thick or more :(

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

lol.. sucks.. I live in Vegas now and if my car ever sees road salt down here I'd assume hell froze over.

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

Haha yea, but even vegas has its issues... get any sun spots or anything like that on cars down there? I've heard of it, never seen it though :) We should start a "Chat" thread or something, so people don't get mad... or confused

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

I am have a simular problem mine is a top dead center sensor. I am on here looking for a rvangt he has an old post on it it might help u.

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

took the car to a honda dealer and after keeping it there for two days they told me they couldnt duplicate the problem. I told them the car had to run and get warm finally they did it and came back with the cam sensor being the problem i don't know if i want to invest another six or seven hundred dollars

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

some one just put a post up on how to fix this problem on the dyi secction I just bought the sensor today for 48.00 and a gasket set. the tread has a step by step with photos takes 1 to four hours give it a shot the dealer is a rip off.

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

ok one more time i am ready to leave the car out for the taking the sensor i was told to replace by honda dealer was already replaced the first time i took the car to another mech. then i was told it was the transmission replaced that, now the dealer is telling me its the sensor that was already replaced so went back to first mech. and he said it could be the computer for the car what now?

Re: 2001 Honda Civic
 

Find yourself a decent mechanic lol... or take it to another one for even more confusion.
