The car has been hesitating while driving, really after I put gas in it. Then it just didn't start one day. Code read camshaft sensors. Changed them and Car started but still hesitating. I am scared to put gas in it. It has been having this problem for about a year. We have changed almost everything it could be. The coolant is leaking also. I have been reading the Civic forum and read 2 other Hondas doing the same thing.

This sounds like a bad PCM, but can you tell me what the codes are? I need the numbers.

First of all: code read camshaft sensors. Replaced those car started but still hesitates to start and drive. Does it have to be programmed?
When I put gas in the car it really acts up. Doesn't want to go and harder to start.
Coolant was leaking. Mechanic has fixed it about 3 times. He has changed out coils spark plugs, filters, mass air flow sensor, new radiator, just repaired ac. New compressor
He has done so much and I am missing w invoices. It was working great for about 5 months and than it started hesitating again and ran hot.
I don't know what to do I am so confused.
FYI. I picked up from mechanics and it didn't start the next day. Had it towed to honda shop, they called said it was water in gas that they fixed it. Once again picked it up and would not start the next day. Please help

It sounds like the fuel pump is going bad, did they replace it when doing the fuel repair?
