i Just bought a 96 cx auto. When the car is cold and I start it up and drive off, It kinda bogs down when it shifts into 2nd gr and I have to pump on the gas so it can catch itself. Just got a new dizzy installed , along with a major tune up with new spark plugs wires and a valve job. Its still giving me this problem. Any ideas?

Also the civic is a Canadian model
it only does it when the car is cold. It doesn't do it after a few mins of driving. I have no check engine light or anything.

 

iacv? you take it off and clean it? and ficv/fitv(under TB)

in honda terms. the coolant valve on the back of the intake manifold needs cleaned. theres another valve under the throttle body that could use some cleaning...or delete it...
any CEL? good fuel pump? clean injectors?

 

From what I understand the 96-00 doesn't have the FITV. Did it get changed to being called FICV?

 

same thing.

 

There is no fast idle valve (FITV/FICV, whatever you want to call it) in the 96 and up Civics period!

 

Thanks for the replies,

No CEL

So do you guys agree that it could be the iacv?

 

Mine does it too. The car has 200k miles so I just let it warm up.

I cleaned the TB after the head gasket install. I just figure it's just a fact of getting old?!

 

Forgot to mention new fuel filter

 

My civic has 118, 000 miles on it

 

Here's a pic

 

Kinda pissed i bought that new dizzy for nothing. Mechanic thought it was the coil in the dizzy, but recommended i get a whole new dizzy just in case. This is after i bought new cap and rotor for the original dizzy and had a major tune up done and a valve job.

I dont wanna spend another dime!

 

Check your ignition and mechanical timing.

 

Just had a major tune up. I think they did that. I'll try letting the car warm up, but i never had a car that had too "warm up".

So if letting the car warm up stops the issue, where do i start as far as fixing the problem?
