hi I have a 94 civic i just bought. when i got it it was sputting when you give it gas at the take off and sometimes died at idle i took it to the garage they put a new temp sensor in and fixed it as it was running rich but it still has a miss i have repalced the plugs and air filter and put a profurmance muffler on it you can hear it pop kind of like a backfire almost when you give it gas

does anyone know if this could be cause be a clogged catalytic converter ?

also when you turn off the car you can hear the exhast ticking under the car up towards the front of it

its not a back fire but more like a putter when you give it gas if you let up on the gas its fine or after the rpms pick ups its fine

also i only get like 275 km on a full tank of gas

ticking is normal....

replace- distributer cap, rotor, plug wires - all should be no more that 30$ at ur local parts store

if it was running rich u may have fouled out your new plugsi would check to be sure

its not backfiring but its probably misfiring. check your timing to see if its correct. and that ticking is normal. its just the exhaust cooling down. all of my cars ive had have done it.

i was told it was to do with the air intake
