The check engine light recently came on in my 2004 Honda Civic and the car proceeded to lose power and shut off repeatedly. After running the diagnostic it indicated that the crankshaft sensor needed to change. This was changed but 1 day later the light is back on and the car has shut down again. The diagnostic is not identifying anything currently. Any suggestions on what the problem might be? At current my mechanics are stumped...

Check engine light means emissions control system failure.
I would only rely on Honda to properly diagnose this and
replace component failure with Honda part. The ck engine
light was probably reset when your mechanic replaced the
crankshaft sensor, and in time, came back on cause the
problem has not been corrected.

Check engine light came on my 2004 honda civic ex start it up shakes a minute then runs fine but light stays on

That's because the car is putting itself into "limp"mode. Take it some where to have the code read without the code number it tells me nothing.

1991 Honda Civic sputters feels like losing power smell like fireworks when sputters. Needs new radiator and exhaust system. Could this be the cause or is it somethin more?

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

A P0302 code means that the car's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's cylinder #2.

My car when the sun hit, dont start

Do you mean you have trouble starting it when it is hot outside? If so get the battery checked first, heat and cold stress the battery.

If you mean you lose power as you drive when its hot out, that is a whole other problem.
Good Luck

Engine stalls when driving & loses power

You have to reset your computer. In the engine compartment, left side on the strut well, is a black fuse box. You must remove the 10 amp hazard fuse for ten (10) seconds and then reinstall. That should make your CHECK ENGINE light go out. You do need to ascertain why it's coming on though.

P1361 TDC Sensor Intermittent Interruption (I got this from Engine-Light-Help.com)
TDC should mean Top Dead Center.
It is the sensor that tells the computer the #1 cylinder piston is at the very top. And therefore, fires the spark plug.

Since the maintenance done above, I believe the the timing marks for the timing belt is not lined up properly. Being off by one tooth will cause this problem.
