Default 94 civic dx JDM D15B still hesitating after tune up

94 civic dx

JDM D15B

ok... my vehicle is still hesitating. it usually happens when i turn it on and drive out of the parking lot, when cold. after that, it runs like a dream. BUT it does happen when it is not cold.

i have a new ignition coil AND ignition control module... swapped out the ignition switch also. i have new plugs, wires, fuel filter... i have no idea what is wrong with it. it originally had a shut off while driving issue until i changed the ignition switch out, but now it is giving me this problem.

If it also does it at random i would check to make sure all the internals in the dizzy are tightened down good and check for damaged wires. Another thing it could be is a leaking map sensor. Im throwing this out as the first little bit that the car is running the o2 sensor isnt sending information until it reaches its operating temperature (Honda's use a map and o2 sensor to help deliver fuel instead of a maf) so check you o2 sensor to.

yes... all tight. i made sure the connections had a bit of drag before i installed. my screws are held in with loctite also.

how do i check the map sensor?

also, how do i check the o2? i ask because i never had an o2 fail on me without a CEL showing up. i have no CEL, so i do not even know where/how to look.

i do not have a anything to gauge my RPMs... vehicle is an automatic and the speedo/tach only has temp, speed (mph), and fuel... the idle is consistent but there is a humming noise that goes:

hummmmmm, hummmmm, hummmm, hmmm, hmm, and repeats itself... that probably makes no sense... lol

The humming noise you are talking about, it sounds like the RPMs are going up and down constantly?

yeah... but it isn't too noticeable. i think it is timing related.

Most likely not timing. Check your coolant levels and check you IACV and TPS.
