hey guys, i havent been on here in a while becasue my car was running perfect for a while. Buty now i have a new problem. 2 nights ago i hit a deer and then yesterday i think my motor starting to misfire. This is what happenes. at random times i can barley start to feel the misfire lightly. and if i keep on pressing the gas it gets worse and i can really feel the car bouncing. if i turn the car off while driving and start it back on the problem goes away and comes back at another random time. also when i give it gas i do not have full power that i am supposed to have. the check engine light went on a couple times and i can smell the fuel burning rich. btw, the car was idling a little rought before but now it is a lot more. i already checked the spark plugs even though i changed them like 10k ago. anything else i could do? i also had a fuel pump connection problem that i fixed and i was wondering maybe it is becasue its acting up again. Becasue all i can determmine is that there is no combustion in the combustion chamber. my dad said it is an electrical problem since it goes away after a restart the car. i am also getting terrible fuel economy compared to before. Please help me out guys because im a pizza delivery man and i kind of need a reliable car to do my job. thanks. 1992 honda accord lx 195K.

 

Is there any damage under the hood? Is your battery undamaged?

It might be worth to check all the electrical snap connectors in the engine bay -- those can come loose. The same for the ignition wires -- are they all tightly in place? You could also check the fuse boxes and see if any of the fuses have gotten bumped out of place.

It may not be a bad idea to reset your car computer.

If all else fails, you could have a mechanic do an engine analysis with his service computer.

 

ok I checked the spsark plug wires and they are all secure. i have a strong feeling that its the distributor. my CEL is on and off. How do you reset your computer. I am almost positive that one of my cylinders is not working all the time becasue i dont have close to the power i had before. i am going to take it to the honda dealer to see what the computer says, but its kinda hard since im still in high skool and work every single day delivering pizza.
