Default Honda Civic Putts Along!

Hi there,

Im new here and duno where to post this so i found the closest thing i could find, I have a 1990 (I Think (; ) honda civic sedan. dual carb. And quite often it "Putts" and goes no where. i could be driving normally and it just starts. or i can be given it s*&t and it does it. usually happens under pressure but sometimes it does it no matter what. any idea's? I checked vacuum lines. The brake pedal sometimes used to just hit the floor and do nothing. hasnt done that for about 9 months tho. do u think my booster may be to blame? i bought the car off a mate who changed the fuel pump, intake gasket, etc all because it did it. but never fixed it. any help would be much loved!
thanks
-Kaine

Sounds more like possible tune up/ carb adjustment is needed. Even though a brake booster failure can cause engine runability issues, the brakes would get stiffer and not softer.

sounds like your carbs need to be cleaned... but the brakes are a different issue, more like air in your line...
