Okay, so I traded my old 95' civic for a 92' civic lx last month. Upon test driving the car it drove perfect & perfect on the way home. Then Monday it started this accelerating crap making the car bog down at normal temperature (making me believe I had put bad gas in it) it did this twice that day. I would say it did it around 1500-2000 rpm then bogged down & caught & took off fine. Tuesday it did the samething. On wednesday I filled the car up from an "E-Full". It ran fine. So I checked the spark plugs & 3 were NGK & 1 was Bosch Platnum. So I immediately ran to the parts store, bought 4 new NGK plugs & seafoam to clear out all the carbon build up & swapped out the old plugs for new plugs after I ran seafoam thru the system using my brake boost vacuum (partsguy told me to run it that way because it's a direct feed into the motor instead of deluding it through gas). After all that the car ran nice & strong, no bog or nothing. It's still acting up again beginning to bog again more than 2 times when accelerating from a Complete stop. It does feel like its loosing power at times (like a little hesitation) while driving the car. The car has a stock sohc zc swap with short ram intake if that matters.

I have replaced the following:
Timing Belt done in March 2010 at time of Swap
Fuel Pump
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs/Wires

Im thinking that the Injectors are bad....

Any & all advice will be greatly appreciated to get this problem resolved.

Have you checked the contact points inside the distributor cap and on the rotor for wear and corrosion? And how does the inside of the distributor look?

Any CEL codes? Does the CEL work?

i havent checked anything inside the distributor cap yet. i have no CEL's because it doesnt work. its plugged up but doesnt work. what can i do?

Former User

1) Remove the distributor cap to inspect the inside of the distributor.

2) Some unscrupulous people selling their car remove the CEL bulb to hide problems. Remove the cluster to see whether the bulb was removed. If so, install a new bulb and then pull the codes as described in the CEL sticky at the top.

i know how to remove the bezel & take the cluster out. when i checked to see if there was a bulb it appeared there was.

Then check whether the bulb is burned out.

It didn't look burnt out!

Test it. Bad bulbs don't always look bad. You can swap it with a known good bulb in the cluster. Or test whether the bulb socket has voltage.
