Civic sputtering before 4000 rpm
OK, I still have yet to get this one. 94 civic dx with the 1.5 soch motor. It sputters real bad before 4000 rpm and I think is running extremely rich. At 4 grand, everything seems to clean up fine except there's still a small hint of the sputtering. I have changed plugs and wires, put on different injectors, and still have the same issue. Now I know the next obvious step would be to change dist. cap and rotor, maybe fuel filter and new air filter, basically to finish up a general tune up. I was also thinking it may be a sensor... wether it be a o2 or tps, but I am not sure if that would have thrown a code or not. In a nutshell, I am looking to see if anyone else has any odea what else it could be before I take off with this. Thanks in advanced.
i am pretty sure a code will be thrown for a o2 sensor or a code that will relate to it.
what is up with all the fuel problems lately? has anyone else noticed this?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

For my issue though, I am not so much worried about the fuel problem, I just want the car to stop jerkin around when I start to drive it...
well, no codes are being thrown... since I have a 3 day weekend, I am gonna change dis cap, rotor, and maybe a fuel filter to try and take care of sputtering. As for my car running rich, I cant think of anything else than maybe a fuel pressure regulator gone badf or something...
