Hi all. Having a problem with my 95 Civic EX. Idles beautifully when it starts, but cuts out when you step on the gas, especially if you step on it hard. If you step softly on the gas you can slowly manage to get around to a quick location, but when the car heats up it is almost impossible to drive as it stalls constantly and barely starts up again.

Took it to the mechanic and he told me he couldn't figure what was wrong with the car. Said it's PROBABLY the distributor... but wanted to charge a fortune to fix. I had recently replaced the ignition coil, cap and rotor, so i took the car home, bought a new igniter and installed it. Brand new distributor now, didn't help at all. No check engine light, and the light stays solid when you jump the computer wire, so no codes are present. Since there are no codes i think the sensors are fine, tested TPS but not MAP. Spark plugs are firing, they're brand new. Tested fuel filter and it is working fine. I don't know what else to do!

Please help if you can.

you've replaced the dizzy and the plugs, do the same for the wires. new wires never hurts. sounds like an ignition system problem. and if i read correctley you technically just replaced the dizzy components, not the dizzy itself. try to borrow one from someone or cough up the $150 for a new one

there's a chance it could be an injector.. but i doubt it

Sounds like your running too rich....have you ever tryed tweaking your A/F ratio?.....might be worth a shot
