Also check the MAFS, if the cut out is abrupt the ecu is triggering a cutoff, doubtful if it's anythign fatal. I too am surprised there;s no CEL, but check all the connections just in case.

Everyone knows blue hyrdolocks easier. I mean it's the color of the ocean so water is attracted to it.

hydrolocked cars don't start.

My friend that drives a civic (2006) is having a problem revving past 4k on his car. He has an intake, and exhaust ... I'm going to guess he hydrolocked, but he has no trouble idling or driving it below 4k. any suggesions?

Press harder on the accelerator?

ecu cuts throttle unless the engine is in proper running temp.
wait untill you see 3 bars in the temperature gauge.

Yeah, he was driving on the highway, and he downshifted to 3rd while on 5th and then that happened. He did not drive through a puddle but he does park his car outside. He has dark blue btw

does anyone even read wtf

his car is not having electrical problems...it's probably mechanical overrev and a bent valve

Wrong dude.

The horizontal flux resistor located next to the left-right ball-joint above the stereoscopic interior deer mount handle has broken and/or possibly been obstructed by a rather large piece of lint.
