Hi All,
I've only one other thread in this forum and I received a good deal of help from it, so I am posting again.

I have a 97 civic ex coupe with the 1.6 sohc vtec (i think d16 series? I can get the exact motor model if it winds up being relevant). When I start it up when its cold.... below freezing, for the first 2-3 minutes, the engine misfires and runs roughly, the tach jumps around and it very clearly is not firing on all cylinders.

Attempting to drive the vehicle before this stops, results in the car bucking wildly like I'm a noobie that has never driven a 5-speed manual before.

I replaced the distributor/rotor,spark plugs and engine-bay area fuel filter this summer, so I would be hesitant to drop another $45 for a new dist/rotor set if I'm not sure this is the problem. I swapped out the plug wires with an old set that I know works, to no effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
