My car was working fine a couple days ago (1990 CRX SI) then the RPM started to jump randomly like all the way down then up while I was driving and it would hesitate and almost stale. At idle it would start to jump up and down. Then sometimes I would get a check engine light but if I turned the car off it would go away. I changed the ground on the battery and the one that is on the valve cover. I know its getting fuel becuase I have a fuel gauge on it. It wants to start sometime but it wont and it makes like a farting sound out the intake. Can it be the dizzy. I dont know what to do I need this car becuase its my job. Please help me fast I wanna cry. Thanks

 

What codes are you getting from the Check eng light? That'll give you a much better idea of whats wrong with the car.

What is your fuel pressure?

 

no light, its not a fuel problem

 

check the distributor cap? what have you checked?

 

yes it could be dizzy, could be plugs and wires too. check that then if that aint it hit us back up yo

 

I changed the ground wire on the battery and the ground that goes to like the valve cover and frame or whatever. I didnt really have time to check anything else cuz it started to get dark and freezeing cold. I am going to check the plugs tomorrow morning see if they have spark. What else could it be if its not the dizzy.

 

sounds like an ignitor if the tach is jumping (inside your DISTRIBUTOR btw)

 

i think it might be the dizzy cause my is doing the same thing and finally gave out, i'm working on it right now. : )

 

WTF I took out two of my spark plug wires and there is OIL in them the other two werent as bad but there was like alot how the hell did that happen!!! can it be blown?

 

gasket kit.
before it sounded like a Dizzy problem.

 

Head gasket?? I took out the number 4 plug i think the one all the way to the right drive side and it was DRENKED in oil i dont even wanna take out the others ones. I started it and it started but it was really really rough blue smoke came out and them i just turned it off.

 

Happened to me, the farting sound coming out of the dizzy... ended up being the screw that held my rotor in somehow disintegrated so the rotor was spinning freely, might want to check that out..

 

I have spark and the car started. But its started rough and it was blowing out blue smoke. There was oil in the spark plug wires and spark plugs. Can it be valve over gasket I did a oil changed couple days ago could it be from that cuz of all the new detergents in the oil ate the old gasket????
