i got a 92 civic hatch D15B ..now my situation is my car when taking off from first gear or in between gears at low rpms it sounds like a subaru and there is a great amount of powerloss but then after abit it will clear up then it would back at normal before it starts to choke up again..i had this random guy driving next to me and yell out "Dizzy"..so now im looking at buying a cap n rotor...but before i do i jump on here first to if im headed in the right direction with this.

 

That's a good place to start. Generally when that happens you have a missing cylinder. No spark somewhere...

 

missing cylinder!

 

Thats is hillarous, yet so kind of him.

Anyways, whenever a Civic ownered complains about his car sounding like a Suby, you have a misfire. Is your Check Engine Light On? You may be able to figure out which cyclinder it is if the corrosponding CEL is on. You may just have something as simple as a bad spark plug.

 

Hey dude just make sure to check the pressure on each cylinder. Check ur CEL. I had the same problem last year and turned out to be that i had bent valves... i had to get a new head.. GL

 

check your valve adjustment too, if it's done improperly it will sound like a suby

 

same thing happened to my friend check the injectors to make sure they are spraying. check by switching the coonnectors to the other injectors

 

usally when that happens u loose compression in one cylinder... melted ringlands or something.

 

Like the guy that yelled at you said, check the dizzy, and check timing

 

If you are replacing dizzy, check the plugs and wires also.

 

I changed out the cap and rotor. I also had the Ignition Control Module check and it was bad and had it replaced and still having same problem!

 

bump

 

Check the valve and ignition timing, check the spark at all four wires and then do a compression test.
