| >>Cars being a little b!tch<<
Sooo, i go to the dubberz & honda meet friday... put 89 in it cause my engine is pinning/tinging. ( tank was empty, didnt mix it )
about 3 weeks ago i threw a new Cat in there as well. ( its a full two and a quarter exhaust , header back. )
New Fuel Filter, oil change is happening today and maybe a tranny fulsh.
when im driving it feels like the gas pedal is tight... its not really ...going like it used to, and i already checked the throttle cable, its fine.
And when i let off the gas the exhaust pops 10x's more then what it used to. Like i almost think its going to blow up the muffler.
FYI its a Auto ( had no choice got it for cheap ) , So say i put it in D2, it flys, D3 ... or D4 it just friggin slugs along, its horrible.
whats goin on?
p.s. - im really sorry im horrible at explaining stuff.

throttle plate? fuel lines? getting enough fuel pressure? new fuel filter cant help if ur fuel pump is failing.
i rarely run the tank empty, for risk of it sucking up any contaminents in the bottom of the tank.

Oh no i replaced the fuel filter cause my car was sputtering and it was pretty much dieing , and the gas smelt like bad gas. ( confusing to explain on my behalf )
yes i am the same way with running empty, i hate doing that .. plus it kills the pump faster.
throttle plates? ( im still learning stuff )
Thanks!

Do the basic checks. Are any of the plug wires loose from the plug end or distributor end.
Take out the plugs and check the plugs. Check the gap on the plugs.
That sputtering in the exhaust should mean unburnt gas in the exhaust. But can't say forsure why D2 is good but D3 and 4 is no good.
How did you check the throttle cable? What makes you think it is still good?

I checked it at my work... silly question :P
Mechanics at my work.

And distributor is fine.. i am thinking about getting new plugs though.. they didnt look too healthy last time i checked ( 2 weeks ago )

Silly question, but what did the mechanics at your work say about the car acting weird?

the way i described it.. they were like "wtf"
They think it has to do with the engine.
But i mean i dunno.. their specialty isnt engine , i work at budget break and muffler ( theyre older , not just some young punks )
But yeh they dont think its the exhaust, or Cat.. i was thinking a faulty cat

by checking ur throttle plate, i mean check if its dirty, check the tbody for dirt. it doesnt hurt to clean it though assuming from the picture, its a 92 civic hatch, and probably uses the bypass idle valve. they tend to get dirty.
check plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor. those are the standard 4 things to always look at with a honda.

I second TPS. You should get a civic service manual and troubleshoot the TPS if it's working properly

i was thinking tranny. but i have gone throught enough trannys with hondas where i would know. only closest thing i would think of to a tranny problem would be tranny fuild.. the guy who owned the car before me NEVER took care of her.
... and never gave her pussy.

O2 has its own code. check pump/filter instead.
