95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
1995 model
1.6L VTEC
MT 2dr
Okay for a while my car would take a little longer than normal to startup cold, I didn't really think anything of it since it's an older car. Shortly after that whenever it was started it bogged down for maybe... 5 seconds after I was pulling out of the driveway and then was fine. I drove it early one day, stayed at a friends for a while, then got in to go, it did the usual long crank, and then as I was backing up it bogged and then died. Started right back up and bogged erattically all the way home. It's like you press the gas, bog, bog, and then it finally catches up and then bogs again. Also, the spedometer goes crazy, unless the clutch is engaged, and the tach will randomly drop to zero, with the RPM's not actually changing. The car Idles just fine.
I have new plugs, wires, cap, button, FF, Intake has been cleaned, IACM has been cleaned.
Also the battery has been discharged somewhere between last night and today. I push started the car, and let it run for maybe 15 minutes and it wouldn't start back. But any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
i dont have to read ur post to know. its the tps or iacv.
i have a h22 civic and i have the same problem, i have my iacv turned off with crome. so in the warm days car runs fine, but in the cold it bogs down. what i do in the cold is drive it for a bit til the motor heats up and turn it off and then on and the cold 7 goes away runs perfect again. it has to do with the intake air temp being too cold.

He said he changed all this
I mean it could b a lot of things but I would start with checking and/or cleaning my grounds.

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
I'm gonna go with this idea first, since it's cheap and easy. There's a lot of grounds I can see, but does anyone have a diagram as to where ALL of them are? Thanks for the idea man.

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
Hey man same thing happened to me. I thought it was the map sensor and I changed it and didn't fix it. It ended up being my fuel pump....thing was I went cheap and got a 100 dollar fuel pump from autozone and it lasted 1 month. Took me so long to figure out the problem due to the fact that I didn't think of the fuel pump.

The ground that matters most is the one on the back of the thermostat housing, if its not connected the engine wont run (its the only groundoing point for the ECU)

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
Any CEL codes?
Have you checked the ignition timing with a timing gun?
The odd behavior of the tachometer suggests a problem with the igniter unit in the distributor.

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
No cel's I've even manually checked with the jumper method. See it is possible that one of the sensors in the dist considering the crank and cam sensor is built inside it. I'm just trying to narrow it down, especially since a new distributor is 299.99

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
I just had this problem and RONJ helped me out. IT ended up being my map sensor. And my FITV being extremely dirty. But with the weird speedo problem i would suggest grounds too. Hey ronj, I believe it was you that said that there are some wire that are behind the engine that when touch the engine throw symptoms like that. Im just suprised that the backup fuse hasnt blown

6th gen but not 5th gen Civics have a TSB for a common wire harness short on the intake manifold bracket. The OP has a 5th gen Civic though.

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
cleaned the grounds on the Power steering, near the headlamp area, and thermostat housing, no such luck.

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
go to picknpull and gut another DIZZY. It cost me 14 dollars for an ignitor and coil. It took me approx.. 3.5 secs to install. try this out OP it may save you the headache.

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
If your fuel pump is going out the RPMS wont fluctuate necessarily. Your fuel pump could work fine when not under pressure but when you make it work it could give out and bog. Usually a bog consist of the intake valve being open for air but no fuel is coming through. After you rule everything else out check the FP. Oh I just read the prob...haha I suggested map sensor as well woohoo!!

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
Out of all the suggestions. I've narrowed it down to the alternator. I was just looking at everything under the hood, while playing with the throttle, and the alternator sparked and started smoking, even if this doesn't fix the problem (I'm sure it will) this is obviously a serious problem anyway.

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
Let us know what it ends up being. My car has similar symptoms sometimes. It eats batteries (thank you Honda for giving me 3 free battery replacements in the last year) and it bucks/bogs once in a while... I have a TPS CEL a lot of the time though
I'm going to try cleaning my grounds now

Re: 95 Civic bogging when throttle is pressed.
I've replaced the whole tb twice, replaced the wire, even had it looked at by the honda dealer.. it's a mystery problem
