Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 2005New Spark Plug solves the problem of lack of power on uphill driving???
89 fuel-injection Civil has a hard time climbing uphilll. I had this problem for past 4 yr. Coud not find what the problems are. I was going to replace all the sensor like MAP, altitude sensor. Well I replaced all spark plug before I changed any sensor. To my surprise, new spark plugs seem give me more firepower on uphill driving. My car is not struggling anymore on uphill climbing. Still I'm not 100% sure if the spark splugs solved the problem. Were old spark splug bad enough to cause lack of firepower which led to stalling and struggling on uphill driving? > 89 fuel-injection Civil has a hard time climbing uphilll.

Two of them are soaked with oil. All 4 plug tip are black and so looked burnt out. So possiblely 2 soaked spark plug caused stalling and lack of power. > Look not 100% perfect.

I guess I solved the problem of lack of power on uphill driving. I definitely feel I got more power out of it. |
