mbordeniuk Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hey, i was wondering if i could get help with an issue that my mom is having with her car, she doesnt know her way around the internet very well so i figured i would help her out. The problem she is having just as the title says. Ive tried google search and come up with nothing. I live in Idaho and shes over it Connecticut and I can only do so much 2600 miles away. Basically what she is telling me is the car has a rough idle, when she comes to a stop the car will act like its going to die and then straighten itself out. The car is a 1997 Honda Civic LX 1.6L with no modifications. To me it sounds like maybe a TPS or IAC valve is going bad. Im hoping its nothing serious cause the IACs for these cars are pricey. I would appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Air fuel spark Its could be any number of things, not sure why you're jumping to IACV nor TPS without ever seeing the vehicle or collecting type of diagnostic information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbordeniuk Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 I was just simply giving my opinion based on past experiences with other cars. Thanks for your help I told her to replace plugs and wires this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbordeniuk Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 And given that it runs and drives fine other than at when she comes to a stop. I would think if it was a spark issue that it would misfire all the time not just at a stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Not true. Spark issues can be intermittent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
