My Car Is Broken!

Try removing the air filter. The engine can run without one, but it's not a good idea to do it for too long. If it doesn't help just put it back, but if it solves the problem you only have to spend a small amount on a new one. Don't bother trying to clean the old one, it may seem ok for a few of days but you will very soon be back at the same position.

But I think I know your prob.
It sounds like an air flow problem combined with the carb.

That can't be... It's fuel injected.

Sounds like your Honda Civic has just had its timing belt jump a notch. When was the last time that belt was serviced?

Don't Hondas have "interference heads", i.e. if the timing belt breaks/jumps you get valve to piston contact?

It's very difficult to guess about probable causes over the internet.
If I were there I could eliminate a lot of stuff right away....
