Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 200591 honda civic - accelerating, stalling problem - fuel or clutch??????
I have a 91 honda civic dx. It's a 4 cylinder, 1.5 liter, manual transmission. I have been having some problems. When I drive my car and shift, the car seems like it might stall. It kind of jerks some and does not want to accelerate. Also, I was stopped at a red light. When the light changed, I started going a few inches, but then the car stalled. Before it stalled, it kind of did the same jerk thing as when I was shifting and accelerating. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is the clutch going on it? Or is there a fuel problem, like the fuel pump or something? If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. Thanks a lot. I would start looking into changing the fuel filter, sparkplugs, sparkplugs wires, cap and rotor for starters. Also I would inspect the air filter. When was the last time you did an oil change? For plug wires, cap, and rotor I would use Honda OEM if your planning to keep the car for a long time. > I have a 91 honda civic dx. It's a 4 cylinder, 1.5 liter, manual > transmission.

Thanks for your reply, Chris. This morning, after my first message post, I went out to start my car and now it will not even start at all. It cranks, but will not fire up. We changed the fuel filter about a year and a half ago, along with the distributor cap and rotor. We have not changed the spark plugs or wires or the air filter. I will inspect those. I checked the oil level. It was lower than it should be. So, I put some more in. We changed the oil six months ago. It is due for another one I guess. I will check out the wires and plugs, etc.. and keep you updated. Let me know if you have any other ideas. Thanks a lot. MAn, ... Change the oil every 4 months, or sooner, replace plugs, and air filter, and wires if you haven;'t don'e it in a while, and I assume you haven't, and I don't know how long you have had this car. Here's a basic idea if you bought this car used, change everything that wears out, fluids, filters, plugs, wires; they don't last forever. To your question, maybe this will help. I was having a stuttering problem with my 91 civic comming off the line. I reasoned that it was probobly electrical. I started off with the cap and rotor , found the set screw on the rotor to be loose, Changed cap and rotor anyways as I had it off and my stuttering problem is gone. Hope you have the same luck, but for heavens sake, change the oil frequently, and the timing belt of you don't know when it was last done.

Or NGK if OEM isn't readily available. I have been using these plugs and wires on my 92 Civic for quite awhile.

As other have mentioned, the fuel and igniton system shhould be checked, repaired. Change the fuel filter, spark plus, plug wires, rotator and distributor cap. If that doesn fix it, tyr some know good gas. The cheap stuff can cause bad performance. If the problem is still there, try some good fuel injector cleaner. If all else fails, change to O2 (oxegen_ sensor. I have seen them act strange before the get bad enough to set an error code. We cured a friends hesitation in a 1990 civc (same engine and CEM) by ]cahnging the O2 sensor. Terry |
