Default Misfiring On All Cylnders... Help!

I have CEL codes 71,72,73 and u guessed it 74. I have replaced the plugs, and checked the cap and rotor which are about 19k old, wires are about 50k old 8.5mm wires. I threw in a fuel injector cleaner.. but still no luck. It runs fine when your on the gas, but I have no VTEC engagement and a sputter filled idle.


Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

The timing being out of wack could happen all of a sudden? It runs fine if I'm on the gas, I am going to try a cap and rotor and see if that helps tonight.

How many miles are on teh car in total?
This sounds like an issue with ignition timing.. perhaps the wrong heat-range of plug?

Did your old plugs look sooty and/or blistered?

Have you visually inspected your new plugs?
If they're fouling already, you may have more serious problems...

we had the same problem a couple weeks ago... i had misfire on cylinder one and come to find out it was the valves that needed adjustment..... i loosened them alittle and the cylinder started firiing.... but now we have and have had real bad valve chatter when under a load.... i am think the timing is off

Cap/rotor/plugs/wires. If it keeps happening, check the coil/igniter.

Default Wires fixed it for me

A basic tune up should get you back in shape.
