RLeVan Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 My bet is on the ignition coil. If that's it, enjoy the $200+ you'll need to replace it. Had a '92 Acura Integra, oddly enough extremely similar to a Honda Civic. They were about to have a recall on ignition coils, but there weren't enough failures to warrant the recall. A failed timing belt(broken tooth) makes the car feel like someone is messing with the fuel/air mixture. Essentially, it feels like it's bogging down, then gets power again, then back to bogging. A rough idle should have given you an idea something was going wrong because multiple teeth need to fail before the timing is severely off. A Honda Inline-4 will run on 3 cylinders with no problem so I don't think it's a bad plug. It won't run great, but it will still start. A clogged fuel filter, after waiting a bit will still allow the engine to fire and then it will quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanCollins Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Maybe, hard to diagnose without being there. My guess is something simpler though. I think Honda was still using a distributor in 93, my money's on a crank angle sensor, or maybe the dizzy itself. we had a '93 accord ex for a few years. great car, only thing that went wrong was the distributor broke under waranty. my wife was out of town so I didn't get the particulars wether the shaft broke or the drive gear sheared.
