2000 Si ignition problems... did a search
Alright. About 2 months ago, i replaced the ignition coil, cap and rotor. Car stopped its puttering and misfires for a bit. Problem continued a week later. Did a voltage test and we replaced the ignitior.
Car has been fine since then. well over the weekend it started it again. But not as bad though. before it was constant after 4400 rpms and that was the end of it, no more reving. now it feels like i have 2 vtecs lol. waho jk.
She NORMALLY does it after 5500 or so, its real quick then it does it for a bit takes off again.
at idle it does it ever so often and if it does it twice it cuts off. The wires weren't replaced and i noticed this morning the dealer never put the screw that holds the rotor on.
could that be the problem the rotor is arcing or something??

Hrm... well, this is a longshot, but I know problems like this are sometimes ground wire related, or lack thereof. Hondas are notorious for having sh!tty ground straps. Wouldn't hurt to install a GOOD one, whether it fixes the problem or not...
