hey guys, like the title says my civic bogs.....alot..when ever Iam in low rpms it bogs till i get to like 3500...my car sounds as if it were diesel or some type of tractor. Iv had this problem before and it turned out to be the distributor. my rotor was messed up. so as soon as this started again i changed my whole distributor. momoents later my car still boged. then i went and got an oil change......still bogs...now i have beend told it could be the injectors...does anyone have any idea what this could be.. i need help fast, my gas milage has gone down to like 20mpg. any hepl would be greatly appreceited.

 

Not trying to be a smart ***, but is your air conditioner on?

 

Damn when my car bogged i replaced the distributer and it worked perfectly..Try changing the spark plugs, and wires

 

yea it does bog more when my ac is on.my dad thinks it might be my timeing belt. im checking my sprarkplugs now. does any one know how much the spark plugs should be gaped at

 

mine did the same thing, it was the spark plug wires..

 

First do a tune up, plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc. When you do your plugs, see how they look. PLUGS WILL NOT LIE!!!!!! If your car is running rich, they will show. You might have a failing o2 sensor, as well.

 

did u put the distributor back in timing?

Same here!

I changed all of teh above and it ended up being both, the wires were **** and the cap was really, really bad.

 

does it idle low and shake at idle?

it starts to idle really high jumping to about 3500 but then settles at about 1000

 

i had the same problem, it was the o2 sensor.

 

Check your plugs, but I don't think you're running rich. You'd have a low idle.

Otherwise just do a normal tune up, plugs, cap, dist (done), and wires.

By the way, does the car sound like a WRX?

 

Fuel pump was a problem in my 93 DX. My car acted just like you said yours did too. Did you do a motor swap by chance?

 

no motor swap....yet .but if like a wrx you mean that diesel noise then yes it does
