    98 Honda Civic Power Failure
    Yesterday I was driving my 98 honda civic, drove it probably 20 miles then I look down and the battery light went on I was okay maybe my battery is not charging. Then the SRS light came on, then my lights dimmed really bad, then the whole dash went out. So I started to head back to my house because I didn't want to stop and wait for a tow truck to come save me. When driving back I guess my car went into limp mode, which I think doesn't allow the car to go over 2,000rpm even though I didn't know how fast nor how much rpm I was pulling because the whole dash went out. Has this happen to anyone. Today I turned the car on and everything is fine however there is a check engine light on now. Which I know I should take it to a shop but I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem before thanks guys!

    It wouldn't surprise me if the alternator is bad. AutoZone will check codes for free.

92 honda civic lacks power [ 1 Answers ]

My 92 civic has been misfiring. I changed the spark plugs, cables, cap & rotor. The car started then turned off. Apparently the distributor went out. I changed that, the car was running fine. Next day it starts to lose power. Not exactly it lacks power but it takes long for it to get going. It...
