cooper91 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Need some help here people. I'm kinda stumped Car starts but won't go over 30kms and has no power I have a 91 civic DX that was just put back on the road after about a year of sitting. Changed plugs, filter, oil, reg stuff. It was running very well for about a week on the fuel that was left in it since shut down. heres the weird thing though, for about 30 kms prior to the car having NO power, the alternator belt was spinning and doing that whine that is so familiar to grocery store parking lots. As soon as that stopped the car had zero power. The belt is still there and even after tightening it the problem still exists. Has this happened to anyone here or is there some suggestions that might help out. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper91 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 did you changed the fuel filter too. ? prolly got a bunch of trash that came from the tank and clogged the fuel filter .! just changed the fuel filter now but still does it. however, its now giving me a code on that light under the passenger floor. 16 blinks the CEL came on only once though and now isn't on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 code 16 is code for fuel injector i beleve. check the timing and replace timing belt if it sat for any periods of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Code 16...I don't have my book handy, but I believe it's one of the ignition components. Sounds like a distributor problem...replace the distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 i just told you what code 16 is , lol. pretty sure anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper91 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 yeah from what I've found while researching code 16 tells me its a "fuel injector" or something to do with the fuel system anyways. I'll have to check the injectors today. Anyone know how the injectors sense and signal that code to the ecm?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper91 Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 ok, just thought I'd come back and advise as to what the problem was the catalytic converter was blocked by its own ineards (sp?) there wasn't much left of it either, so I punched it out and am now running straight through until the dreaded e-test when I say blocked I MEAN blocked, I should have taken a picture thanks for the advise guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
