So I have a 93 eg hatch with a B18A1 swapped into it and a couple weeks ago I started leaking oil and my antifreeze was bubbling so I decided my head gasket was going bad, so I ran head gasket sealant through it and since my antifreeze stopped bubbling and my oil stopped leaking, however I also sprayed the engine down with water trying to find the oil leak, now it misfires at 5000 rpm really bad but only when the throttle is less than half open, wide open it runs fine. I just replaced the plugs and wires and just cleaned my IACV, I don't know where else to look, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thx in advance

well idk to much but my buddy had a lude that kinda did the same thing studder crusing down the road between 3-5k and nail it and it would go away we replaced the o2 and that has fixed it so far and its been a year now hope this helps

replace the headgasket before you kill the motor. the headgasket sealent is no good, and will end up plugging your radiator. do it right the first time.

btw it only takes about 4 hours to do a headgasket anyway. why put it off and have to spend another $800 on a motor?

i will do a rebuild as soon as i get time and money but until then i just need it to get me by

put a new o2 sensor on and well it still doesn't work, back to misfiring in cylinder 4 so I think its time for a rebuild

X2 ..

time to remove the head at least.
First do a compression check or better still a leakdown test.
Sounds like it's serious but just could be bad ignition or wires.
Check inside the distributor for water

You did say you hosed it, sounds like it's well and truly hosed to me if it's not the wires or water in the dist.
