well im guessing its misfiring, car judders upto about 2500 revs

it doesnt happen when i accelerate really slow but any quicker and it will

i changed the dizzy cap, change spark plugs and rocker cover gasket (as there was oil getting on the spark plug) the oil is no longer getting on the spark plug so it isnt that

had a problem with idle to but i clean the iacv valve and that seems to have gone

any ideas?

are you talkin bout it reving up and down at idle? or does it drive poorly at low rpm?

for the poorly at low rpm either 1 spark plug isnt working or cable went bad or you need to clean the contact inside the distributor.

other than that i currently have a problem with my civic just like yours and it seem to be the head gasket. im losing compression.. well right now the car wont start anymore.. my brother continue to drive my car while overheating causing this when he could've just went to autozone and replace the radiator hose for 10 bucks. smh. lesson learn.
