Default WTF happened!

Happened on Monday, car dash lights just started flickering on highway..I shut off and pulled over to check fluids/battery line and everything was fine. I turned the car on and my a/c wouldn't blow cold. I didn't think anything of it but then when I downshifted to jump into the traffic, car shitted on me and it didn't pass 6k. NO CEL has come up.

Thought I blew something so I checked it out again. No rattles, no knocks..just wont pass 6k.

Checked my grounds. Checked my fuses, at least the ones I thought I should check. Just did an oil change 2 days before everything started happening.

Can someone pleeeease give me some sort of direction. I will paypal you 20$ for advice lol Times are rough and I need my car to get to my job.

It wont hit vtec. A/C blows hot.

Help!

Check your coolant level.

check your oil.
also you could try disconnecting both positive and negative battery terminals for 10 minutes. see how that works for you

i agree with the above... for the vtec issue, check your oil level, for starters.

as for the a/c issue, start with checking the coolant

Temp sensor? Is it like your hitting the cold engine rev limiter? That sensor could be bad or maybe your thermostat... just some ideas

Thanks all but none of the above works

checked oil. normal.
checked coolant. normal.
Took battery out to adjust negative cable ground , again, nothing changes.



Also, while driving car does not read speed correctly. I will be driving at 70mph and it will mark 35-50. The a.c goes blows colds every couple of minutes or so but then goes dead.


SLracer - the car does feel drive like it would if it was cold, however I get three bars? confused.


I have a feeling its electrical but I havent the slightest clue where to start.

What have you done to the car in the past? Sounds like an electrical gremlin.

Nothing. Been driving really nice and hard like normal. Just randomly started doing this. Does anyone have anti-gremlin juice ?

Any recent work done on the car? Is your car stock? List your mods if not.
