...is surging.

Usually only in first, second or third, but it is bucking a little bit once you approach 2300 RPMs. The check engine light is on, and other than that the car seems to run very well.

Any suggestions?

 

what code is the ecu throwing? (pull up the carpet on the passenger side footwell and turn the key to "on" possition, there will be a led on the ecu that will flash a sequence. count the flashes and post back here

 

Damn... I didn't even think about that.

It's flashing nine.

 

Have you FIRST checked to make sure there is oil in your engine?

 

I left my book at work, I can give you an answer tomorrow evening unless somebody else has by then.

 

Ahhhh... a very common problem. It lies within your distributor... Its missing due to the crank angle sensor. Code 9 = No. 1 cylinder position... While its OK to continue driving with it... you will want to fix it soon, as it will eventually fry your distrib.. The bucking of the motor will also do damage to your mounts and tranny and such.. I would suggest getting a WHOLE other distributor.. or just try to fix the Crank Angle sensor itself, it consists of a number of color coded wires..

 

No 1 CYL sensor
i got the same code and cant fig out how to fix it..
if someone has let me know

and by the way Sihatchy i love ur signature!

 

Well, poopscotch. Is the sensor hard to replace, or would a distributor be the easiest route?

 

well, I could only find the ZC's teg one on an Acura parts online store, and its was 105$. I got a reman from Advance with new cap and rotor for 226 after tax.
