    Engine surging after about 5 minutes of idle

    Do you mean in the radiator coolant lines? Since the system just circulates water, wouldn't that resolve itself once it got and the thermostat opened?

    Engine surging after about 5 minutes of idle

    I turn on my 93 Civic 1.5L, and it sounds fine. It's been overheating so I'm trying to get the radiator valve to open. But after about 5 minutes the smooth engine sounds becomes an intermittent sound, a surge about every 1 second. Like it's loosing power then gaining power. Any ideas?

    Aha - found it! Thank you for re-assuring me that it really was there. Sometimes just knowing that there is a solution is enough encouragement to press forward.

    The check engine light is on and I want to diagnose the codes. This is 1993 Civic 1.5L 16 valve. I searched on the forums and am told that there is a switch to find under the glovebox. I cannot find any such thing. Does anyone have a photo or diagram? It is unclear what it looks like and...

    HOW TO: change a distributor o-ring

    I just replaced my leaky and brittle o-ring. I marked the distributor with respect to the engine and put it back on. But now in idle I get an intermittent knocking sound. The part is aligned with my mark. Any ideas what else could be wrong? I'll check the wiring more closely tomorrow when...
