Car sputters

[tntmstr]

check your distributor cap and rotor, replace your fuel filter, check ALL of your engine grounds that's what i would start with..........................................or u can always bring it to tintmasters and i'll fix it

I dont want to have to pay labor to have it fixed when I can do it myself if I just find out what it is. Sorry

[nuckinfuts]

hey yea i had the same problem when i had the car, a buddy of mine said that he had the same problem too, he just said that there was oil in the distributer cap and all he did was clean it out and it worked just fine. i just never got aroumnd to doing that before i sold u the car.now my new car is stating to do it too so ill try it out and let u know.

If its the distributor, I would have to replace both cap and the rotor right??

Theres a really cheap Dizzy thats ending soon, just save the time and buy it.

[krzydrftr93]

Thanks, but I will just buy a brand new one. I would rather have new parts or aftermarket parts. And would that dizzy even work on my car considering its a 1.5 d15 NOT 1.6 d16

[DelSlow]

dose it have Vtec? then yes...it would

[seanjohn]

All vtec dizzy's are the same. Check out distributorking, I believe he is a vendor on ebay. Great prices great products.

[nuckinfuts]

no its nonvtec

[DelSlow]

Civic VX is Vtec, its that economy Vtec engine. Vtec e or something like that, but none the less...its Vtec.

[krzydrftr93]

Jake it is vtec. Like BumpingJCC said its the Vtec-e Vtec-"ECONOMY" crap.

[DelSlow]

crap= < d15b7 lol no offence

[Joel]

lol... true dat!

[krzydrftr93]

I know its crap and its a z1 not b7

[DelSlow]

i know, i was sayin that you know a motor is crap when a D15b7 is better than it lol

[krzydrftr93]

I dont think there is much for a honda that is worse then a z1. I do know it is slow but you have to start somewhere. I think I got a good deal on the car and its what I wanted.
SWAP IS COMING.

Took my car into a friend and had him look at it today. Turns out to be the water pump causing the sputter and the coolant leak. Not a cheap fix, but will be getting done this week. Thanks for all your help guys.
