So tonight it was driving my 90 EF hatch, all of a sudden i give it some gas while going slow, then it starts to spudder like i shifted too too early...

any ideas???

 

same ish is happening to me =/

try some fuel injector cleaner it helps out a bit

 

bummpsauce

 

help pleasee

 

check the distributor, make sure its got all the teeth

 

This happened to me awhile ago...I pulled my plug wires and had oil on one of them..which caused the ceramic **** on my spark plug to swell and cause a missfire...

if you havent checked you're plugs in awhile do that first.

 

i will do. i just got this car. working out the kinks. thanks

 

Damn.. newbss... lol check your main relay. 9/10 times this is it.

 

i am most def a newb. idk wtf a main relay is =\

 

search it.

 

arghhhh lol. how do i test it when i find it.

 

meaning use the search button at the top of the page.

 

I came back to check something and I'm helping people. Heres your freebe. Errr... Main relay is up under the dash on the drivers kick panel side. Take off the pastic and metal **** and you will see it. here is how to check it...

 

i thnk i knew that. but wasnt sureee lol. so how do i test it?

 

Are you retarted? Look above your last post there is the testing procedure. right click on it and save it to your desktop. Open it in paint or picture viewer and zoom in a little bit. You are retarted I think really. You just need to sell your hatch. Its not a ef, its a ed. Damn these kids are retarted.

 

But I wouldnt even worry about testing it. 9/10 times it will fix all your problems with starting and spuddering and running like ****. Or just swap out your shitty dpfi for a k20 and call it a day. No more main relay issues for life.

 

SIR U CALM DOWN! =]

and how is it a ed?

 

and just for the record, i couldnt see it big enough to realize that was a testing procedure lol

 

Read your vin. It doesnt say ef. It says ed... god damnn... I'm trying to help but its like talking to a pile of rocks. I'm out and probably my last post on h-t. You guys are more retarted then ever...

 

now that just hurts my feeling =[ shh =]. oh and btw. u pretty much just claimed that the title of the section on the forum is wrong

 

Yes I did. Lets go in to something here hondas are called their vin number names as some cool fad. But for the ed/ee they called them ef's because thats the japan name. so to prove my point here is the links for 4 cars off of ebay with the vin numbers I do not see any of the vins from there starting with a ef.
