Here is my problem. I have a base 5th gen that is starting to run a little rough. At around 1800 rpms the car feels like it is misfiring. At that rpm it is as though there is a little loss of power and as the rpms continue to rise the power comes back on. It will also do this when i have the car at a very mild throttle, You could compare this sound to the sound of gas afterburning in the cat or igniting but it is clearly not.
I do not believe it to be an ignition problem b/c i have tested it at 5th gear with a heavy load and very low rpms. i have also replaced plugs, wires and the cap & rotor has been replaced within this year.
What the hell could be going on????

 

probably just need to change your plugs, cap, and rotor and see if that helps you out

 

see above

I'd still double check them just to be safe. Just cause you bought them less than a year ago doesn't mean they can't go bad. Some people buy Auto tenisoners and they fail on them within a few thousand miles...Also, maybe clean the EGR and IAC valves

 

Not sure. Does anyone know the firing order for 87 Prelude?

Think it's 5-4-3-2-1 wrong thread.
