hey i usualy post in the civic forum but one of my friends ran into a problem. he has a 95 gsr , bone stock, two days ago he washed the engine at a car wash and it wouldnt start so we hauled it home. after we got home it started but sounds like its running on three cylingers, kinda like an sti, i know that sounds gay but thats the only way i can describe it. We replaced distributor, cap, rotor button, coil, plugs and wires which it needed anyways. two days later still the same.

'open to any suggestions, daily driver needed badly. thanks

 

maybe there's moisture in the injectors clips, or he shorted one of the injector wires when it was wet.

 

did you cover all the electronic components and the intake system (if you have aftermarket), mayb it can b water got into the motor but i doubt that, mayb like inline4 said mayb the injector has gone bad, any CEL codes?

 

where is the pulg to check for cel codes? we'll check the injector clips. it takes forever to get to 5k, it justs hesitates like crazy and when you come to stop it usualy quits.

 

i had a 95 gsr and sucked up water in my motor and it sounded like that i bet u that its what it was sounded like an sti lost power cut off sometimes it ran like **** 2 weeks later slung rod out front and back of block

 

there's probably water either in the distributor or spark plug holes (if he doesn't have the spark plug cover).

If your check engine light isn't on then you don't need to check for cel codes. The plug however should be behind the center console on the pass. side.

 

all of that stuff is brand new. it has a stock air box but he might have gooten water up in there. ill go ahead an change the though just to be safe.
