I took my car to the shop today to see if they could solve my car shifting problem, which they couldn't... so they replaced my distributor and rotor cap and now my car is running like a peice of $%!@ it idle's rough and when you rev it up a little bit it almost stalls when the rpms go back down... it actually stalls sometimes, and now my check engine light is on and the car starts really hard, and almost doesn't start sometimes... i wish i could get the shifting problem fixed, honda told me this car should shift in passing gear just before redline which is like 6000 something rpms, and my car won't go past 5000 rpms and just bogs out at that... also the top speed of the car is around 130kms\h, i can't even pass cars on the highway cause of this...
can anyone think of anything that could fix my shifting problem?! please!!
thanks!

Sounds like you have either a) a fried TCM, or b) an ECU that is in limp mode

 

would that be messing up my shifting problem as well?! or no?!
the car worked awesome except for the shifting thing at those high rpms...
until i took it in today and they put on a new disturbtor and rotor button or whatever, and now the car works horrible...

are those 2 things you mentioned expensive to fix if thats what it is?!

thanks

 

is the firing order right?

 

i'm not sure i hope so, if not the dude that replaced those 2 things needs to go back to mechanic school haha, im not sure though all i know is the car is going back in tomorrow morning, i'm not paying 120bucks for 2 new things that didn't do nothing but make my car worse... umm also i just too my girlfriend home and when she opened the door on my car to get out, there was a rich stong smell, coming from the car, sicking smell?! im just curious about that too?!

thanks

 

yes the firing order is right, the garage checked it this morning\i checked it as well before i took it to the garage, but they don't know whats wrong with my car and why my car won't shift at those rpms... and its pissing me off and im sure im pissing off everyone on here with all these posts... all i know is my car is running like a peice of $%!@, when i start it, it barly starts and when its running its barly running, it was ideling at 0.1 rpms just a minute ago, it stalls when you rev it up a little bit... its really annoying, so far for my first honda, if this keeps up its going to be my last honda!! can someone please help me, cause no shop around here can not even the local honda dealer... i'm also new to the honda world and just picked this car up back in november!!
thanks

Cars running really good now since i had a little tune up, that didn't solve the car running like $%!@ though... but they did unhook my egr or something a little tube thing that goes into the engine and plugged it off and the car works wicked now!!

thanks for all the help everyone
