Civic EG

What's up guys my friend need help on his 91 civic si with a d16a6. The problem started when he Was on the freeway on ramp going 45mph suddenly it just lost power like it ran out of gas, but it still had half a tank of gas. So he pop the clutch to gain power, gained a little power again but then lost power again like it ran out gas. No cel came on nor any warning sign. So I'm thinking it could be a fuel relates problem. But again I would like to hear from you guys what the problem could be...thanks

does it sputter? it might be a clogged fuel filter. any leaks on the fuel system?

are you able to give a little more info?

Well finally got to look at the car, it was the timing belt. So now I was wondering is there a diy on what to do or how to put new timing belt...

If the timing belt broke you need to pull off the head and look for bent valves. Then you'll need a new head gasket, new head bolts, and have the surfaces cleaned. You should also do the water pump and tensioner. For the cost and trouble you're better off importing a used replacement engine since you can get them for $500.

Oh ok..so when i take off the head do i first put it on TDC? And then i could take the head off right? I got a spare head so if anything is bent from the head then ill just replace it with me spare head. When i put on my spare head how do i know timing is right?

putting it at TDC will help you out alot.

Repair manuals are cheaper then a new motor. Plus it gives you step by step instructions to change the head and reset the timing.

You got a spare head but did you price out the head bolts? You should get ARP head studs since they cost about the same as new OEM.

He's right, new headbolts are good insurance.
