So, I was just cruisin down the highway pushin some high rpms goin 110 for a while then all of a sudden my check engine light started flashing. Shitty. It was misfiring obviouslly. So i pulled over checked it out and seemed fine. So i drove it back home and it sounded like a V8. I checked all the plugs and wires. Still have yet to check the distributor and rotor. but the spark plug in cylinder 1 had alot of carbon buildup on it which makes me thing that the injector for cylinder 1 is injecting too much fuel. I plugged it into an OBD and it said that misfires were detected in every cylinder. It still runs (shitily) though so all of them arent dead. Could this be a timing belt issue or would it be fuel related (injector, pump, or filter)? i'm stuck on this and don't want to keep driving on a misfiring engine. However, if it dies then i have an excuse to get that S2k. lemi know
-thanks

 

Also the wires are all fine. put different ones on it and i checked and i am getting spark to the plug in cylinder 1.

 

Ummmm...what codes were thrown???

How old are these ignition parts? If they're old or you don't know, replace them.

 

The codes were like p0301 302 303 and 304 so it was detecting a misfire in all the cylinders. I just recentlly like maybe 3 or 2 months ago replaced my distributor cap, rotar, plug wires, and plugs. But, i took it to a garage just to get it looked at and they said that the distributor looked like it was archinging outside of the cap.

 

Did you figure out your problem? I'm dealing with a very similar issue in our 2000 Civic LX.

 

do a compression test first and then go from their .

 

same **** happened to me 3 weeks ago on my 96 civic,turns out my timing was off and my sprak plug wires were bad, but think of things that effect all cylinders , google code p0300 and see what effects all cylinders and go from there,good luck
p.s a cleaning of spark plugs/wires could always help
