For about the first mile that I drive my car sputters. It kinda acts like rpm are dropping and then coming back up. I don't know if the rpm does drop for sure but that is how it acts. After about the first mile my car runs fine. What is the problem??
The car is a 90 crx Si with an intake, DC header and exhaust.

Thanks for the help

 

I forgot to say I have no cels.

 

Someone help me.

 

up again

 

maybe the car is just warming up...thats what mine does.

 

I have never noticed it on the other crx that I have been in,but it has a b16.

Thanks for the reply.Anyone else have any suggestions.

 

When mine did this it was the ignitor. I've also heard main relay.

I thought the main relay was only used for starting?
I plan on buy a main relay and fuel filter soon to see if that help.

 

up mine does the same thing, but smooths out past 3k..

ive noticed if i push the clutch in while this is happening, stop the car (movement, not engine), and watch the RPM's then go way down to normal idle spec (750) for a second then go back up to warm up idle (1500rpm).

My guess is an air pocket somewhere near the FITV.

Wow no one wants to help us. Half this thread has been bumps since no will help.

 

ya up again.

i've also noticed my car sputters when i start it if its really damp out (ie. raining, just rained).

Does your car do this even on a warm start? or only on a over night start?

Im thinking we might have a leaky fuel injector(s).

Im going to try priming my fuel system more then once before i start it, maybe its got low fuel psi until after a couple seconds of running.

 

I have only noticed it when my car has sat over night. I have not noticed anything different when it is damp out.

 

i've been talking to 94eg! who's had the same problem (and still does). We both think it might be a leaky injector, so i'm going to try swapping mine out.

 

ok.Tell me the results.
