Damn, my car is laging it. Simply today I had to gun my engine and I was on a straight away. Also whenever I change gears and I gun it I take off slow (no power). When I first got the car it was cool, but I did notice the clutch was kinda hard. Im thinking it might be the clutch, but what do you guys think.

yeah, it's a civic :fawk:



spark plugs/wires/distributor/etc
fuel filter
air filter
engine oil

check those first

Its a new distributor, so it cant be that.

not necessarily, could be a bad one, I've had that happen before.

Check spark plugs first, then wires, then fuel filter.

If you have never changed your fuel filter, you should.

Ok I was thinking of doing a tune-up on my car (a few stuff). Im gonna do an oil change, gear oil change, and other stuff. The thing is, whats the other stuff?? and is it that hard??

Get a Haynes/Chilton's Manual.

Not hard, you just need to know what you're doing.

Im a upcoming noob. Or should I just take it to a shop and have it done.

itd be better if u learned how to do it yourself, just make sure u find out how to do it right

on one of my old cars, I had a ton of sputtering and hesitation because my O2 sensor was bad....it could possibly be that as well.

Im a noob so dont flame me. Im gonna do an oil change, tranny (gear oil) change, spark plug change. What else would I have to change?? Also what parts would I need. I have a D16Z6 engine (95 Civic EX coupe).
