my car just started doing this last night out of nowhere, its a 95 civic with itr motor intake itr 4-1 2 1/2 headerback no muffler tuned on crome...

low rpm below 3500 if i give it around 20% throttle it starts missing horribly, if i give it anymore then 20% throttle the car just dies until i let off the gas...

anybody have any clues? also when its missing or dying, it smells like there is alot of unburnt fuel, i checked my plug wires and all the injectors are plugged in and not loose.. ill get a cellphone vid in a little bit... thanks

heres cell vid.. cars messy i know thanks

valve clearences

 

compression test it could be ur rings

 

could also be a burnt valve. thats what happened to a motor i just took apart, it had a burnt up exhaust valve and sounded like your car. do a compression test and it will likely lead you to the problem.

 

it was the distributor.. the rotor screw was halfway out like it did before, and the rotor was all screwed up and very loose.. so i just replaced the dizzy because the cyp sensor was bad anyways...

thanks for the quick replys

 

My car did that after I changed the valve seals. I ened up mis timing the cam gears. Check your cam to crank timing.

Check your spark plugs. Sounds like you might have a fouled plug.
