Car is a 91 crx si w/210000 miles. I just changed the plugs, cap,rotor, and igniter.
It idles at about 1100 rpm and its missing. Anything over idle it's fine. What are some things that could be causing it to miss at idle?
Thanks in advance.

 

Eh got the plug wires mixed up? 1-3-4-2 starting at bottom left going clockwise is the firing order.

 

Nah, got that right otherwise it would miss throughout the rpm range instead of just idle.

 

Lol how'd I miss this one... must have been my long day at the shop. What's your ignition timing at? I bet that's your problem. If you don't have a timing light just loosen the 3 12mm bolts a little (just enough so you can rotate the dist.) start it up and then rotate the distributor until the idle evens out.

 

Whats base timing set at? I'll go get a timing light in the morning. Lol wish I had a shop

 

16 degrees below top dead center. Here's the only pic I could find online to show you:



in fact there's a whole write up here: http://www.c-speedracing.com/h...g.php. And yes sohc timing is the same as dohc.

 

So if i had an I/H/E would base timing be the the best or would advancing it alittle be better?
thanks for the link
Thanks,
