Still having problems with my civic.
ok heres some cliff notes :
1. its a 90 civic DX
2. its still DPFI (dual point fuel injection)
3. Right now its throwing a code 16 for faulty injectors or connection
Ok, i changed out the battery with another one that had a good charge on it..and once again,the car will start up and drive fine. But after about 10-12 minutes of driving..as soon as the car is taken out of gear,or you let off the gas enough,the car will automatically die. Now im not sure if the faulty injectors/connection is causing this,but also..if you try to give the car more than a 1/4 throttle,it feels like its starving for air/fuel. It has NO pickup what so ever. I know its a honda,but ive riden in another persons car with the same Motor/DPFI shit,and his car will run circles around mine. But tonight,i turned my radio on for like 2 minutes..no sound system,just the radio and two speakers. I go to turn the car on..and the battery is completely dead.
Could the Alternator be the reason why it cuts off after taking it out of gear by ANY chance?? someone please help,cus this is my daily driver,and i need to know what i need to fix,instead of buying a shitload of parts,and not being able to figure out whats wrong.

Re: Still having problems with my civic.
limp it to an advanced auto and have them load test ur alternator. if its good, start looking elsewhere. the battery's ur using, are they used? new? if it was a dead battery that was re-charged more than likely its got a few dead cells, and even the slightest voltage drain will kill a battery like that QUICK, i would try using a brand new battery, if it drives good for 10-12 minutes and then its kapoot more than likely that some bitch has a busted alternator, u figure that 10-12 minutes is all a fully charged battery w/ a few dead cells can muster.
