Ok, since I got my 1997 Civic EX a few months ago, it has always started weak. It sorta sputters to life instead of starting like a normal car.

Another problem, when I'm accelerating the car doesn't build power like it should. Yes I know it's a SOHC Honda, but the power doesn't gradually increase as the RPM climbs... The car will pull then feel bogged down sporadically as I accelerate.

One day it threw a CEL for random misfire in cylinders 1 and 2 when I started the car. I reset it and it hasn't came back on, but the car still starts weak.

Since I got the car I have replaced the dizzy cap and rotor, wires, plugs, air filter, oil, oil filter, and I've checked all fluid levels.

ANY ideas would be appreciated!
