I rock a stock 97 civic for a daily right now tell I get my new motor done for it but that won't be ready tell late summer right now it has a D16y7 and not all the time but every once and a while under load it will have a what feels like a misfire and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas I put new plugs, cap, rotter, and wirers with nothing changed I come to you for help any ideas?

 

Bump really want to figure this out

 

Timing. Check it.

And it "feels" like a misfire? It either is misfiring or it isn't. Does it throw any codes?

 

No code and I just checked into the timing looks fine can a random misfire come from the distributor?

 

Check the coil for any carbon tracks or cracking, check the harness for any corroded or broken pins going into the coil, then start with other basics like the fuel filter. Intermittent problems are generally electrical though, but always check the simple things first so you don't jump into expensive parts and labor only to find it was a $20 part. I wish I could help more but good luck

 

You say it "looks" fine. Did you use a timing light? Is it within spec? It's either in spec, or it isn't.

 

It is within spec and I have yet to look into the coil
