hey everybody. well its like -20 degrees here in minnesota for the last week. oh ya gotta love that. well heres the thing. my car will stutter from idle to about 2500 rpms for some reason. it seems to do it in every gear but it dont know what it could be. ive heard spark plugs or wires, but im still clueless. and its too ****in cold out to go check. what do you guys think? :thinking:

 

replace the O2 sensor. I had that problem with my last civic and it happened twice during winter.

 

my car does that too. I've narrowed it down to the fact that its a piece of crap.

hih :chuckles:

 

holy shit my car does that too...but only when its like 50 degrees or below....its not plugs or wires tho man cause i got brand new iridium plugs and 8mm ferrospiral wires. it did it before i got that stuff and it still does. if you find somthing out lemme know...

 

this is kind of along the same lines, after i got my timing belt replaced and timing back to oem spec, my car started bogging (seemed like the previous owner had advanced the timing - causing pinging) but anyway, the car was bogging but after i did an oil change a few days ago, it made it less boggy. try the oil change

 

yea frank might be right...your oil might be too heavy for the weather....try using 5w30...i use that in the winter in CT

 

i use 5w30 all the time

 

yeah my 93 dx seems to bog in the cold also. How bad is it? Does it get better as the car warms up? (Even though it is too ****ing cold out right now for it to really warm up!) Mine seems to get better as it runs. Do you have a CAI? It seems to me that this is only when it is really really cold. Like 20 or colder.

And for those who think he was exagerating about it being -20 outside he isn't we have had the wind chill factor in the -40's or worse most of the week now. It is way to ****ing cold to do anything. I think I need to move or something.

 

no one doubts the weather claims... I'm from the frozen north myself It sucks

 

well thanks for the replys so far guys. i do have a CAI, and it doesnt stop when the car has warmed up. Im not even sure if what is happening is "bogging", i just assumed so, because thats what it seems like. damit. brakes are goin out, i need suspension work, now this. *SIGH*
keep them replys coming!
