00' GSR motor in EG civic, car bogs out between 2-4k RPM, sputters, sounds like it is misfiring, tap the gas and the revs just sit there and sort of mis/backfire. Then when it acts up, at a stop light at idle, the car bogs out at idle to below normal idle point (sounds like the car has a set of cams), then the motor revs itself back up to about 1000 or so RPM without me touching the gas.

Ive had this problem for a month or so now, Im thinking it is the ignitor.

I'd guess the same thing, seems like an ignitor problem. I'd swap distributors with someone and give it a shot.

Check for condensation build up on the distributar cap and rotar as well as on the plugs and in the wires.

thanks guys, anybody else have opinions? I researched, seems like guys have the same symptoms when the ignitor goes bad. BTW, my car is not giving a CEL

Check all your engine grounds...and don't forget the one that attaches to the thermostat housing.

I had a similar problem and that is what the problem was.

swap dizzy's with a friend and see.

that could be one of many things. It sounds ignition related. My plugs had gotten wet and my car was doing the same thing. I would just check plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor first. Maybe try using another distributor like everyone else sais.

changed wires, still acting up... ugh...and I call Honda, an ignitor is 202$ f**** dollars, geez......guess Im never gonna get this fixed.

I would advise against purchasing a new ignitor, as it may not even be the problem. Again, swapping your distributor w/somone else's may narrow it down for you. If it is the ignitor, I would try to find a used one, as $202 is extremely high for something that will probably fail in the future.

OK, now I'm thinking ,maybe a valve is stuck open? I know of cars this has happend on, and these symptoms would make sense. I cant do a compression test to find out , because it is only bogging out while driving

Guy, no offense, but look at the other posts above. Why not swap out your distributor with a friend/family member, for free, to determine if it's the ignitor or distributor. You're introducing more problems, when there's a simple test you can do for free, that takes less than 10minutes.
