Car Hesitate while driving. Help ...............................................
1995 Civic DX Coupe
1996 B18C-R
w/ MSD SCI (at least 5 yrs old)
SS Blaster Coil (New)
New Distributor Housing
New Ignitor
New NGK Wires
New Plugs
New MSD Cap
New Rotor
When driving past 4000 RPM the car hesitates and does not Rev smoothly to Redline.
When I past 4000 RPM the tach gets slightly jumpy.
What could it be?
I have check the fuel filter & fuel pressure, they are o.k.
Everyone tells me it's the Ignition, but I have changed almost everything.
How can you tell if MSD is going BAD?
I'm going to take out the MSD on Saturday and go back to stock.
Hope it works out.
Anyone else have any ideas??

the general ideas for checking the TPS should be the same, regardless that that is on a D series.

How about the IACV ?
Fuel Pump?
I am not getting any CEL's at all, so it has to be mechanical right?
