My honda is messing up

[shavedcivic]

okay, so no matter what gear i'm in, once i hit 3000RPM's it feels like my car is back fire'n... and sputtering? can some one point me in the right direction? i thought it might be the timing but i'm just not sure.

[Halfwit]

how many miles?
what car
what motor
spark plugs? has tune up been done?

make sure its not somehting small b4 u look too far into it.

[shavedcivic]

it's got about 60,000 on the engine and the trans. it's a 96 honda civic. with the D16y motor. i'm gonna do my plugs. wires, and distributor this week.

[spoon91]

It maybe Your Distributor or a Bad plug or Plug wire.

My Car did the same thing last Summer and My Distributor burn up on Me.
So You may want to start with a Rotary button and Distributor cap and maybe Plugs and Plug wires all at the same time
That way You get it all out of the way at one time and it will keep You from buying a Distributor right off the bat.

Well I Hope it Helps alittle and Good Luck Dude. :goodjob:

[shavedcivic]

thanks man. how long was it like that before your Distributor Burned up on you?

[spoon91]

My Car (It was My '91 Civic Hatch) did it off and on for a Year or more before the Damn thing just gave in but it did make it that long.
So if Your going to do all that this Weekend then Great the sooner the Better.

[shavedcivic]

i'll probally try to get on it sooner. but thanks for the advise.

[spoon91]

Anytime Bro. :goodjob:

"my honda is messing up" that goes together like peanut butter and ecoli.. lolz.. or casey and butt secs.. lolz.. j/k

[Killer]

do what i'm about to do to mine..

burn the thing to the ground! lol... gl with finding the problem!

[B18c1Turboed]

Make sure all your plugs are good. We had the same problem in one car and come too find out 2 wires where touching!! The car ran the same way as you are stating!!

[Mr.MuayThai]

If that doesn't fix the problem, than you might want to check your head gasket.. I know sounds funny.. i've had a bad gasket before and it was leaking oil all over the plugs. It did the exact same thing you are describing.

[shavedcivic]

thanks for the help.

[§treet_§peed]

i know why you have this whole problem...it's a honda. lol j/k

[shavedcivic]

haha.

[§treet_§peed]

i jsut replaced my dizzy cap and rotary button yesterday and about to replace the wires and plugs when they get here

[shavedcivic]

yeah i gotta do that tomorrow. i'm just worried that once i do that and get my timing down... it's not gonna fix the problem.

[§treet_§peed]

well hopefully it should

[shavedcivic]

yeah hopefully. haha

[bigdare23]

safe mode FTL!!! sound like a bad dizzy

[shavedcivic]

that would be better than my head gasket

[§treet_§peed]

trooo

[shavedcivic]

well i'll just have to wait till tomorrow.

[JoeyKazez]

can some one point me in the right direction?

yes, www.honda-tech.com (http://www.honda-tech.com)

[§treet_§peed]

little later their buddy

[shavedcivic]

shit well i got new plugs, wires, and a dizzy cap. but. it's still fucking up. back fire'n like crazy; and the whole car is shaking. but no worries. my buddy works up at top speed and he is coming by to look at it tomorrow. back to my crappy 530 daily driver.

[kain86]

check all your coolant line3s my did that and the line on the bottom of the fast rev valve had blown.....gl

[shavedcivic]

it's not my coolant lines. my buddy has a fetish with tighten every loose bolt, and there was a bolt by my dizzy that was loose ( which had to do with my tuning; due to my supercharger) and well that's what caused it.
