Hello Honda-tech:
Here's the problem. My 97 hx(stock) has been running pretty rich and, when my car is low on fuel, I have a harder time starting it up. When I am parked facing uphill it is slower to start up and it seems to idle lower. Also, sometimes the car is a little jerky when it has just been started. Please tell me why my car sucks. Fuel pump?

Is the CEL ON?

yes. i forgot to mention the CEL. P0136

See forum CEL sticky to learn how to pull the code.

I couldn't find code P0136 for your Civic. Use the jumper wire method to pull the code. A bad primary O2 sensor would likely explain why your engine is running rich, which might also foul your plugs.

Have you checked your plugs?

Pull the CEL asap and go from there.

There is no honda listing for p0136. But as a generic code it comes up as O2 sensor, low voltage bank 1. In any case the p013X's are all o2 sensor codes.
