honda replaced my ignition coil... now car bogs going up hill
a month ago my car 99 civic coupe Ex died while i was driving. Would crank but not start up. I got it towed to Honda and honda diagnosed ($95 charge) and charged me 200 for a new ignition coil and install.
i went from my AEM CAI back to stock, and now my car seems to bog but not die when i'm driving up hill.
I replaced the battery and spark plugs.
for example:
i'm driving up hill in 3rd (rpms is between 3000-4000). I then feel my car jitter (hiccup) but not completely die as i'm driving up.
Whats the cause of this?? I dont want to take the car back to honda and have them charge me $95 for a diagnosis.

called honda and they said it could be timing and they would charge $50 just to set it to factory specs.
then the guy at honda said to go to shucks and get a new distributor.
talked to a friend and he recommended i just advance the timing and see if that makes it go away.
i just advanced it a bit (twisted the distributor counter clock wise a hair to the rear) We'll see how it goes in a couple days.

tell them if you're paying $95/hr to find out whats wrong with your car, they better find out whats wrong or it's just a guessing game you're paying for

I've never had good service from the people at Honda. Just my $0.02. Perhaps doing your own diagnostics before you take it to them would pay off.
