a sleight and erratic mifire?
Hey to all. My engine has a very slight, erratic muttering sound coming from the tailpipe at idle. Above idle the sound is much less noticable. The engine does seem to run a tiny bit rough too. Now let me provide some background info. Early in January, my car ran hot twice in on week. The head gasket failed a few days later. I had the head reworked and milled flat. I cleaned and 'prepped' all parts then reassembled the engine. Sounds cut and dry don't it? Not! Seems that the overheatings and blown gasket over-stressed several old parts. I've tested, troubleshot, repaired, replaced, and only driven the car once around the block...in all these weeks. The last of the long list of problems is the slightly muttering/puttering exaust. The following is a partial list of tests and parts r & r. The tests were performed as outlined in the 'big' honda service manual.

My wheelchair is on its last legs. If it dies I'll be grounded. :( Grateful to you all in advance. |

YEEEE HAWWWWW. The car ran good enough to get my wife to work. I'm gonna put gas in the tank with some Sea Foam. Gonna check the not-very-old fuel filter too. Should check for fuel flow volume while I'm there. At least I don't have to use the wheelchair for transport. ;) Thanks for the support.
