    Default engine spits

    i got a 91 civic hatch and my engine spits sometimes. Usually only in low rpm( and no it is not an early shift that makes it happen). I was thinking it could be spark plugs or maybe fuel injectors. any ideas?

    ok, you need about 5 foot of 2 guage battery wire. crimp the clamp attachments to the ends. you need to hook 1 end up to the + terminal on the battery, and the other to your intake manifold. that sould cure any spitting problems you have. make sure to run it down along the frame and tack it to place so it looks nice. you always wanna make everything look professional.
