My son picked up a cheap ($800) 91 Civic LX (with D15B2 16V SOHC, Manual) that had been sitting for a year and had not been driven much before that. Needing some help diagnosing what is going on.
Below symptoms are per the kid:
Randomly won't start or dies and won't start:
Ideas?
Below symptoms are per the kid:
Randomly won't start or dies and won't start:
- Cranks fine but seems to crank "quicker than normal"
- He fiddles with/unplugs sparkplug wires/ distributor wire
- It eventually cranks normal and starts fine
- 5 full tanks of gas used to date
- Fuel efficiency is "bad, 250 miles per tank"
- Dying
- Seems to happen at low rpms, like during a launch from stop condition
- Revving higher during launch seems to help prevent
- Not related to fullness of gas tank (does when 100% & 20% full)
Ideas?
