car sputtering

[brian erstad]

my cb sputters when i put a little gas to it idk what the problem is? idk if its the fuel filter thats clogged or the injectors any help from you guys will me out alot thanks

[AaronRVegas]

what exactly do you mean sputters? will it accelerate after say 3k rpm? or is it really slow to accelerate everywhere?

could be fuel filter like you said, or egr ports need cleaning, or you need new air filter. i doubt the injectors are clogged but they could be very dirty.

my car was fine til 3500, then i step on it and my rpms will climb reeaaaaaaaaaal slow, then out of no where it will shoot up, hasnt done it since, but i think imma need a fuel filter soon.

its about 15 with tax. i think thats alot of money

I would do the cheap trouble shooting items first.

Check/change air filter

Check/change spark plugs

Check/top up tranny fluid

Switch to higher octane fuel

Change the fuel filter

Check timing

it starts to sputter after 3k rpm and if i leave it to sputter for like 5 to 10 seconds it jus rapidly jumps back to normal. it only sputters if im goin on any constant speed

Is your check engine light on? Does it come on when you reach highway speeds?

My guess... You can drive normally, but sometimes it bogs. You can push through the dead spot, and it'll pick up again. The check engine light comes on around 50mph, and when you pull the code, it'll be code 43: fuel supply system. Most likely, this will mean that your oxygen sensor is bad.

If I am correct, replace it with NTK or Denso. No Bosch. Bosch is bad.

same shit here bro, its pissin me off.



bossman deev, my check engine used to come on its a code 43. i went on a 2 he drive yesterday, and it didnt come on, but when i left my friends house, it was boggin, and ill ride thru the boggin like you stated, my timin is fine, i dont think i jumped any teeth, the car runs good, imma change my fuel filter soon, along with plugs.




QUESTION- HAVING A BAD CAP AND ROTOR CAN THAT MAKE YOU BOG?

[deevergote]

I'm sure it can. Anything that causes your spark to be weak could.


My car has the same bogging problem, and I'm assuming the o2 sensor is the cause... that's why I'm so familiar with this. I haven't fixed my own yet, though... mainly because clutch issues forced my car off the road before I got a chance to.

If you can get that o2 sensor off my h23 downpipe, use it...Try that first.

[F20A CB7]

ahh ya i got it in my trunk^^ ill have to do that soon

[F20A CB7]

question, how do you check timin on our cars, do we use a timing light and point it at the flywheel teeth.

i remember reading, some flywheels come with the timin line, and some dont, i dont think mine does, i didnt see anything of that nature when i installed mine.

[deevergote]

Many aftermarket wheels do not. If you didn't have a mark, or add one before you installed it, then you really can't check the timing the way Honda intended.

[F20A CB7]

fail on me i guess.

[burgandycb7]

I've had this problem. How often does it happen? I only get this when the car gets hot. In the mornings or at nights the car runs fine. I've tried the O2 replacement already, that did no help. But it doesnt hurt to change out your spark plugs. I've heard from other people that own different cars to have found it to be a clogged cat. The cat being clogged will reduce your performance drasically.

[F20A CB7]

mines happens at random really, i can start it up, drive 2 blocks, and it will bogg when im on the gas, then it will go away when its warm, then come back.

its scary, i dont want it to shut off or something.
