Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

I haven't gotten a chance to pull the ECU yet but I did test the fuel pressure and it was between 35-40 psi.

Also, I did the spark plug test from Starting Problems...

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

I tried this earlier today. I took off the 4 mounting nuts but didn't pull it out all the way because of the wires. I didn't want to mess anything up trying to pull that part out, so what can i do to...

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

Oh and another important thing that I forgot to mention: after it stalled and I tried to restart it, when I had the key in the II position the rpm gauge was bouncing between 1500 and 2500 rpms, and...

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

Replaced the spark plugs today and it started with no problem, however it was still running rough and sputtering badly. Also, there was a LOT of smoke coming out of the exhaust. Way more than normal....

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

tamboo - Thanks for that link. It helps now since techauto is down.

scubacamper - I only use NGK. The tips on those cheap autolite plugs are too small for the plug wires causing them to pop out....

Coil is brand new from O'Rielly
Putting new plugs on Tomorrow or Monday

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

It only happened that one time, for a few seconds. I put everything back together and it started up pretty easy but still running weak, rough idle, and bucking. I haven't driven it yet.

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

I think I might have made a critical error, maybe someone here can back this up. In the multiple times that I removed the distributor cap and rotor while I was swapping out ICMs (several times...

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

Ok now I'm stumped. I replaced the ICM with a new one (it took 9 days to get here) and although it ran a little bit better, it still ran rough like something was misfiring. So I replaced the ignition...

What was the car doing and how did you figure it out? How did you test it?

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

The ICM? I looked thru my posts and I had to replace mine 2 years ago because it was doing the same thing.

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

OK, its been a few days and I haven't really been driving it, but this is what actually happened last night and what's been happening as opposed to my original post:

It actually starts just fine...

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

The cap, rotor, plugs/wires, and icm have all been replaced fairly recently. And the o2 sensor is about 16 months old. The bucking and surging seems familiar but I can't quite place it.

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

Well I replaced the VSS with a brand new one today and the problem hasn't gone away. Still running the same. I guess I'll have to buy another new o2 sensor and see if that works.

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

Actually I just found it when I went back outside after my last post. It was covered with so much grease and crud that it literally was camouflaged. Now I just need to figure out the best way to get...

I can't for the life of me find that damn VSS under the hood. I watched a video and still don't see it down there.

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

Ok I warmed the car up, unplugged the o2 connector, drove around for a few minutes and the issue is still there.

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

Where exactly is the VSS located?

One thing I forgot to mention is that it has only really stalled out on me after after I put it reverse. Two times, last night and today, when I backed out of a...

Re: Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

Nothing very recent, but I replaced the distributor cap/rotor/wires/plugs not very long ago, maybe a year or so, like late 2013 or early 2014, but now that you mention it, the symptom does seem a...

Stuttering/stalling/bucking/hard to start 93 Accord EX

I've been having this problem for a couple of days now:

First, it does not want to start and I have to rev the gas pedal to get it going. Usually it stalls out the first couple of times, but it...

Power Steering Fluid alternatives to genuine Honda brand?

I know it says (on my 93 Accord ex) to use only genuine Honda brand power steering fluid, but is there another brand that can be used? Like if I can't get to the Honda dealership, is there a generic...
