Ok, quick symptoms. My d16y8 a few weeks ago for 2 minutes was acting goofy. I was at a stoplight and the Idle started dipping really low and sounded like it wanted to die. And when the light turned green as im accelerating it would 'hiccup' a few times. Didnt act funny one time since. now on sunday i was on lunch at work, and sitting in a drive though and noticed the rpms were starting to dip down again, and I gave it a lil rev so it wouldnt die. Again after that nothing happened.

Now this could be the start of some problem that will acrew down the line so i figured that I should ask now. = ]


Obvious problems with my car: Battery doesnt have too much life left. is this problem related?

Has new spark plugs, wires, rotor cap, 1 new injector, fuel filter. (thanks honda for your 96-97 tech service bulliton) among other things.

Cliffnotes: Car idle drops, and hiccups for 2 minutes... once a few weeks ago and once sunday. Start of something bad?

 

how many miles? batt might have something todo with it but if car is running then it shoud be ok. thats what the alternater is for. air filter old as hell believe it or not i changed my friends and that fixed his. not saying it will fix yours. is your timing right? is it just down low? or thru out the entre rpm range? let me know.

 

Disconnect and check your IACV. Make sure the screen is clean. Do it when the motor is cool. I was a total moron back then and did it after driving.

Coolant is hot.
