Slight misfire at idle

[Fearit22]

My car idles fairly good like I'll here the cam hit a couple times then just a real slight miss will happen every couple of seconds when it's idling. I reset my ecu, checked my o2 sensor, spark plugs and wires and everything looked good but I still get a miss. I don't really know what else it could be and I would like to try to avoid taking it to the shop right now if it might be something else that's simple. Any ideas??

Cap and Rotor. CB7's are infamous for that. Check your cap and rotor also check the rotor shaft for play.

I too have the same problem. You really didn't notice it with the stock exhaust, but you can really hear with the tanabe on there. I have a new distributor cap, wires, and plugs. Also all the extra stuff he said. How much do you think a rotor is and how much of a hassle is it?

I have the h22/tranny still sitting at the shop waiting to go in every since august. I ran out of dough and don't want to put too much money in this engine.

I had to replace the thermostat and housing last week. And took the timing back alittle due to being so cold. It sounds like a damn diesel when its cold.

dist cap & rotors are not expensive...just make sure you go Honda OEM parts....they are made for our 4 cyl, otherwise ur performance & durability suffer

You can use YEC (Yamaguchi Electric Co.) and Daiichi Electric as well. They are excellent parts that are made in Japan. They make the caps and rotors for TEC and Hitachi (Honda OEMs).

Just FYI I figured out what was wrong and I thought I should let everyone know for future reference. It wasn't my distributor, but it was ignition related. The gasket that goes around the spark plug hole somehow slipped a little bit and was leaking a small bit of oil which was causing the misfire. Easy fix though...
