when i rev the engine then let it come back down it kinda stutters a bit when it comes back to idle. any ideas? it cant be anything too bad.

 

What year is your car?

 

92 h23

 

Are you sure your timng isn't off or anything. My accord did that at first, timing was way off.

 

no idea, just bought the car. how do i check the timing. it has 117k so it may need a new belt.

 

If you have any friends that know about cars, they could probably show you, where it's at. I had an '89 Accord, when look at the engine it was directly to the right. There was a cover on it. But to actually check the timing you need a special timing gun among other things. If you just bought the car, private owner. I'd take it to a shop performance or what not and have it thourghly looked at, cost me about $60. But it can save you a lot of heart ache. make sure they are going to take your car out first and drive it around, so they can try and figure the problem. They would no more than I.

 

stupid timing gun, i hate those things i found out who the previous owner was, so i think im gonna try to contact him

 

lol, yes timing could be a problem, timing guns are pretty basic, you should be able to figure it out, if you just got the car I would go ahead and replace the cap and rotor button and spark plugs, possibly the spark plug wires, but I doubt it. If that doesn't fix it make sure your timing is correct and if its not that then replace your fuel filter

 

yeah, i just got it but havent driven it, just in a parking lot. I have to do the body work first. This car also hasnt been driven in over 10 months, according to the inspection sticker, so it could be bad gas. I'm gonna do the plugs, wires, cap, fuel filter, fluids, radiator flush, and all that stuff after i get the rest of her fixed. The car previously had one owner, and i think it was well maintained. If it still does it, ill just have to break out the techno strobe light....er...timing gun, and see what i can do i think walmart has them :/
