alright. Im not sure how to start this off so we will start it off like this
MY CAR IS A POS!!!
Ok anyways not that I got that out. I have some questions and hopefully you guys can answer my questions to help me get my car fixed.
I have a 1988 Honda CIVIC DX 4 Door Sedan with a 1.5L 16 Valve, Automatic.
1. First off with the transmision. Im not sure if it is the transmission that is going bad or what. But when im at a stop light or stop sign or whatever im at (if im stopped) and I have my car in D4 and I take off with pretty quick acceleration the front end of the car like Jerks when it is shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. but once it gets into second gear and shifts into 3rd gear it shifts nice and smooth from there forward. Also it does the same thing if I start out in D3. But if I start out in D2 or 2 or whatever it is it goes find then I shift into D3 and then into D4 with no problems at all. Do any of you know if this is a transmission problem or something else?
2. another thing. when im going up a hill the car will like bog out and if i put my foot to the floor on the gas the engine will rev really high and then all of a sudden kick in and take off or i have to pump the gas for it to actually kick in and get a move on.
3. When im sitting at a stop light or sometimes when Im driving the car like revs up really high and then revs back down and then revs really high and then back down and will do it a few times and then usually stops. and other times when im sitting at a light the car will rev really high and seems like it wants to move forward even though my foot is NOT on the gas but IS on the brake.
What could be wrong. I've replaced the O2 Sensor, Spark plugs, spark plug wires, oil change, oil filter, fuel injector cleaner, new exhaust from the cat back.
The only error code that is is giving me is code 16 which is something about the Fuel Injector System. What could be wrong with that? the Fuel Injectors? Fuel Pump? what...Im stumped i keep replacing parts and nothing is helping the problem. If somebody could PLEAASE help me figure out what is wrong with this POS car I would really really appreciate it. This is only only set of wheels and Im broke and cannot afford to buy another car.
Thanks to any and everyone that may help me. Really appreciate it
