Since your car starts, you know that you have ignition/spark for a little while, but it is doubtful you are getting enough fuel. If you haven't changed your fuel filter for awhile, that would be an easy thing to do, to make sure it isn't clogged up with junk. If that doesn't help, you could then check for fuel pressure, with a tester, about $30 at an auto parts store, and go from there.

this car come with tree diferent engines the answer i'm going to give you is for a 1.7 engine sohc that codes means you have a leak on the evaporative system this system monitor the vapors from fuel tank this code some time might appear for filling the fuel tank with car runing i recomend you to clear code and make sure the fuel cap is not loose because there is a fuel pressure sensor in the tank and if the sensor don't read the right pressure then it will set the code

SOURCE: check engine reads P0740 honda civic

I am sorry to bum you guys out, but this usually means the piston in the torque converter is bad. The converter needs to be replaced along with a transmission flush.

Check engine light came on my 2004 honda civic ex start it up shakes a minute then runs fine but light stays on

That's because the car is putting itself into "limp"mode. Take it some where to have the code read without the code number it tells me nothing.

How to replace oxygen sensor on a 2001 Honda Civic

before you do anything, let the engine and exhaust line cool down first. disconnet the electrical connector to the sensor, spray some lubricating fluid like " WD 40 " to the thread of the sensor, allow for a few minute then use the right spanner to turn the sensor. here you go, the sensor is now removed. Installing a new sensor is just the reverse. Enjoy it.
