!Help before i set fire to it!

[sncracing1]

Ok i have a 92 civic hatch cx...i just dropped a ls/vtec in it monday.......ive had a some small issues that ive fixed but ive got one that i cant put my finger on. The motor runs fine 90% of the time but every once and a while when you take of from a dead stop AND while riding down(cruising not raising hell) the road it surges like im loosing power or something. Ive checked all my vacuum hoses but don't really know where else to look...any advice?

Did you replace the plugs, wires, cap and button? I had the same problem before, and found moisture in the spark plug gallys.

[sncracing1]

yea its all brand new....it has new everything...pistons rods cams bearings valvesprings etc...the whole nine yards i put new cap button wires everything....thats why it's pissing me off so bad...and every once and a while it will do it so hard when i go to take off that it will shut off the car....

im running a chipped p28 that i done my own little street tune using the chrome program and a wideband o2 lol and never had this problem before...and its a new fuel filter as well....keep guessing ill take anything into consideration! thanks for the hlep

Im running out of ideas, other than checking the map sensor or idle air sensor...

any cel? since you're doing some tuning using crome, why not just do some datalogging and drive around...it may point you in the right direction, or it may not.

OEM plug wires? What spark plugs, not platinum are they?

no cels at all and my buddy has my laptop and widband but he is coming into town tomorrow so thats my next option but its really annoying during the wait...say i drive the car 30 times in a day it will only do it like 3 out of those 30

Im running some OBX 10mm wires and just some ngk plugs not platinum..

[sncracing1]

any way it could be the tps or something...or is there a easy way to check it?

Put OEM Honda on.

Try a different ignition module and OEM plug wires.
