I got this car about 10 months ago and i am stuck with issues that make me afraid to drive it.
The main issue at the moment is this:
Almost every morning I start it up and head to work sometimes it starts to hesitate and stumble at higher RPM's like its running out of gas (tapping the gas does nothing) and it finally stalls.
Before it would only do this at higher speeds like with cruise control set on 55 or 60. Back then I was also getting a Vtec Malfunction error which was a clogged Oil Pressure Sensor Screen thing in the Vtec.
After that was replaced it was running great for a while then it started cutting out again but only at higher speeds especially going flat out.
The other day after filling up on my way home it stalled and wouldn't restart for a while then when it did and I was able to get it up to like 25 it back fired and then back fired again pulling into my driveway as well as stalling.
So far..... Since I got the car early this year this has been done...
