I lost power in all of car and it lose pressure and will not go up hill at all. its a 1997 Honda civic ex. Just rebuilt the engine it's a d17y7 non vteck

which engine, options there are many.???
cant fix any engine, until you know what it there.
a civic not Tacoma. as posted.
see end for engines ????

surge 101 (running gasoline?)
it caused by 2 things. (and lots of reasons)
1: engine running lean. all engines lean surge. fix that first.
hint use a scan tool see live data........?????
2: ISC system is faulting, the idle speed controller can fail for #1
or for itself. (it can stick) clean in.


wiki list of engines. (which one???????????????)_
The sixth generation featured engine options were available along with their first Natural Gas Powered Civic, the GX. From 1996-2000 the Civic was sold under the CX, DX, EX, EXR, HX, LX, and for Canada, SE, and Si trims; all base models were made with 1.6L engines. The EX-CX are all SOHC (Honda D engine). The CX, DX, and LX all have D16y7 non-VTEC engines; whereas the EX has a D16y8 VTEC, and the HX has D16y5 VTEC-E. The USDM Si and Canadian SiR came with a DOHC (B16A2 VTEC). The first civic SI coupe EM1 was introduced in 1999 until 2000. Europe saw a DOHC 1.6 VTI hatch and sedan and a DOHC 1.8VTI engine was available for the Domani related five-door liftback and esta

I CAN NOT GUESS>!!!

Check your fuel pressure and plug wires,. The smell is unburned gasoline from an engine misfire.

This sounds a lot like a bad TDC (Top Dead Center) sensor. Of the many sensors on this model vehicle, the TDC sensor failure is common and is one of the few sensor failures that will disable your vehicle.

The 96-98 Civic EX came with an OBD2A D16Y8 engine. That is the only engine that will go in as a direct replacement with your current engine ECU. It's an SOHC VTEC engine that has two extra connections not found on the other 96-98 Civic engines - a VTEC solenoid and a special oil sensor used to determine if VTEC engagement is possible. If you swap in an older Civic engine (92-95 generation) you'll have to convert the car to OBD1 (requires a special adapter hardness) and run the ECU that goes with whatever engine you use. This will break functionality of your OBD2 diagnostics port, and depending on which state you live in will cause you to fail emissions checks. If you install a D16Y8 engine from a 99-00 Civic EX, you will have to swap the intake and exhaust manifolds from your old engine to the new engine, and you will be able to continue to run your existing OBD2A wiring and ECU. The 99-00 Civic EX engines have additional sensors, since those engines are OBD2B. The easiest fix would be to find a SOHC VTEC D16Y8 from a 96-98 Civic EX, as it would be a direct plug and play replacement.

What sensor are you try to look for?
here is the list of all the sensors for 97 honda civic EX
1.Countershaft Speed sensor
Driven Pulley speed sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
Front wheel sensor
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
Knock Sensor
Mainshaft speed sensor
Manifold Absolute pressure (Map) sensor
Primary Heated Oxygen sensor
Rear Wheel sensor
Secondary Gear shaft speed sensor
Throttle Position sensor
Vehicle speed sensor.

I hope this can help you, please put something on the ratting. good luck.

stock engine for that car is a 1.4 in line 4 cylinder with efi.

bluish is oil burning,if your car is smiking worse going up a hill that is piston rings,if you notice it worse coasting down a hill that is valve seals,but have you tried replacing the PCV valve yet,this lets the engine breath like you and me

it could be that your car came out of time a little or you need a tune up

Check spark plugs and all related cables, fuel hoses, fuel filter (change if black but make sure lines and fuel tank are clean first), and air filter. If blank spots are experienced when power is lost completely then firing of spark plugs may be the issue. Possibly also related to insufficient fuel reaching combustion chamber. Available for more consulation after you do through the above recommended basic checks.

try downshifting
