Not at an idle. I think its plugs and wires. I was on my way home from work, and it started surging, and stuttering.

As read in the whoreslounge, I thought I might have gotten bad gas.

When it does it, I also get the smell of raw fuel too.

I had the Idle fluxuation before, I pulled the plate off and fixed it. In doing so I also pulled off a vacuum line and didnt realize it making it run like shit. I put it back on and the problem was fixed then. Now this.


Could it only be plugs and wires? Oh and maybe cap and rotor. Thanks!!

oh yeah, its a B 16.

fuel smell means it's not burning it off, prolly fouled up some plugs but that's not the initial problem...always ALWAYS use oem plug wires FROM Honda then go from there.

agreed... i had two wires in the wrong place and it just made it run rich as hell. with a surge. once i got them right, it's clean as heel now.

Fixed. No problems with the car itself. It was deffinetely bad gas. Put 10 bucks at Race Trac tonight on my way home b/c i was really low. No missing at all.

I checked all my plugs, they're burning pretty nice. Sorta lean though. Its a B 16. What might the stock injectors be on that...and what should I get its a Tan brown burn on the plugs, i'm looking for chocolate. Thanks again for all the info :)

I was told several times to USE cheveron. I will from here on out from hearing it some many times. The only reason I used Race Trac rather than somewhere else is b/c my gas guage doesn't read correctly and I was worried I would run out.

I only run 93 too. Supposedly I'm supposed to be running 95 with the ECU in my car. Idk? lol Of course, that might be why i'm getting the lean looking burn.
