91 Honda Civic distrubtor 1.5. At an idle in gear, neutral, does not matter but there seems to be a bit a rough idle intermittently. It seems as though it has a bit a of a miss, or about to stall but it does not. IF the idle is increased a bit the problem vanishes. The cap had cracks and burn marks but with over a 100k miles, so it was replaced. Wires and plugs are good with no carbon tracking and gaped fine. I have also noticed this problem in friends cars around the same year and mileage. This all happened after the head gasket was replaced. Timing is also on the mark. The only problem I could think of is the throttle body may need cleaning, but have not been able to get around to it. I was wondering if any one else has encounter this problem?

| Hi,I'v got a 99 Honda civic coupe with D16Y engin. My car overheats whenever I go over 140k/h about 70m/h or if I accelerate fast, I have changed the rediator,new 2 fans, new thermostat,and I use the right % of antifreez water. The car over heats wither the AC is on or not,water jupms out the rediator which indicates that the water pump is working. I dont know what the deal is, one more thing, whenever I check the bottle next to the rediator after each trip, its always full with water,even though its was filled beteen the min and max lines before the trip, plz help.. | |

Replying to: hondamand16 (Apr 30, 2007 2:06 pm) Most people would say the head gasket is only blown if you start seeing white smoke coming out of the exhaust, but this was not true with my vehicle because it was not "burning" enough coolant to see an effect in the exhaust yet. I caught it in the early stages of the gasket deterioration and leaking so it was just enough to create air pockets in the cooling system and cause the overheating and the overfilled bottle. Also in the winter time I was not getting good heat output in the cabin because of all the air trapped in the system. |

 We've got a 1990 Honda civic that's run like a charm until, suddenly the radio/cassette deck stopped working, just dead, then a couple of days later the car started stalling in the middle of drives. We've had it towed three times into varying repair shops: two had no idea what was wrong, one claimed a loose screw ... but many $$ later, no radio, still stalling. Surely there must be some connection between the radio and the stalling problem. What could we check!!?? Help! Many thanks!!
