    Loss of power in Honda civic 1990
    I have a 1990 honda civic dx 1.5 lost all power all at once. Doesn't really want to go up hills. Changed fuel,air,spark plugs and oil filters. Idles sometimes seems a little off. When in third sometimes doesn't seem like the proper rpms when going over speed for that gear.
