Losing RPMs

99 Honda Civic Si. (1.6 DOHC VTEC)

Ok so heres the thing. When i drive occasionally for over 10 minutes my car will start lossing rpms. For example: I will drive the car okay for

10 minutes than all of a sudden i will be in 5th gear and when i let off the game the rpms will almost instantly drop down and my car will start jolting.I am getting a constant check engine light. When i shift my car jolts also dure to the rpms instantly droppping. I was told it could be a nox/knock sensor (not sure how its spelled/pronounced)

a dealer should be able to look it up on the central computer database. replacement is free because it's a safety recall and symptoms are just like you describe. if that's not it, get the diagnostic codes from the onboard computer and report back. a lot of auto parts stores do this for free.

the "check engine" light ought to be a clue;get the ECU trouble codes read to see what is the problem there.
