ok heres the deal my car runs fine when i first start it up
stock d16 vtec
i thought it might be the brake master cylindar but it isnt just changed and bleed the brakes

pretty much i drive for about 15 mins or so like a normal human and then it just wants to starts miss firing and bogging down when i go to accelerate

any ideas pls let meknow

Sounds like the symptoms of a clogged cat. Could also be a fuel filter issue, when was the last time you replaced it?

does it just crank over and over or does it just click? if it keeps cranking over and over then ur probably not getting enough fuel or possibly not getting enough spark. but if it just clicks slowly or rolls over slowly then its most likely spark related. if its spark id check thewires for the ignition switch and test how good the alternator is charging the battery and how the connections are from the batt to starter and/or alternator. and check how good your grounds are too. :thumb: good luck

batt starter and alt is good
it cranks and cranks i think it mite be a fuel pressure problem

what part would it be

now i want to clarify that it starts to bog down and such after driving for a bit

im gunna guess that would be the fuel pump. or fuel pressure regulator. and maybe ur injectors might be a lil clogged up too but my money would be one the fuel pump or fpr. id take the bottom part of the back seat off then see if you can hear the fuel pump kick on. even if its faint . it should be easy to hear though .

i have been using seafoam to clean the system

i heard seafoaming may help bt it loosens up all the debris and clogs up the oil pickup and everything. but maybe im wrong.
