Here is a little info before I go into detail:
The car is a 1997 Honda Civic DX with an OBD-2 GSR swap, i/h/e/ are the only mods
The problem: Under full throttle with vtec engaged the car feels a little sluggish in 1st and gets a little bit better in 2nd gear, and continues all the way until it gets to the top of 3rd gear, and all the sudden it just completely loses all power and the rpm's begin to fall. Every time at the end of 3rd, 4th and 5th gear is reached, a vtec malfunction code pops up every time.
What could this be? I forgot to mention that the car has a slightly leaky headgasket, so it made me think that it was having an oil pressure problem, but I don't know why the vtec error code would only pop up at the top of 3rd gear.
Also someone from another forum said it could be a faulty speed sensor (vss) and I changed it out and i still get the same problem.
If anyone has any clues or any information at all, please let me know. Thanks
