Kastigir Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Check your distributor. Had this exact issue a long time ago on my old Civic, and that's what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlehead Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 +1 ^^^ and it could be the IACV. Try spraying some trottle body cleaner through the IACV port in the trottle body. Sound more like an ignition issue, but you should check your fuel pressure and try and rule that out. Could also be a vaccum leak (worth checking for).

It would start up fine, but it had a miss in it and would idle up and down. It would also cut out, pop and crack and spit and spoutter when you would get on it..It had jumped time, so he replaced the timing belt and now it seems to be fine. I dont know to much about Hondas, pretty much old school here, but sometimes if you just at the basics youll find your problem if your lucky.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
