I have a 99 integra LS it's got about 155,000KMs on it now and ive had it since 120,000. no problems untill recently.
now and ive done a couple things to it including a new dist cap+rotor and external coil, iridium plugs and wires only about 1 year old, new fuel filter, new timingbelt+waterpump and adjustable cam gears.
the cam gears are slightly adjsuted but the car was running fine untill the winter hit. weve been getting -20 degree weather and all of a sudden my cars been acting up.
I first noticed it was starting to bog under low rpm take offf (like 1000 rpm) it would stumble and then pick back up when I let off a gave it some more throttle.
but more recently it's been having trouble even getting started after its been turned on and running then left to sit for a bit and I go to start it again and it just constantly cranks and wont start, ill have to give it throttle in order for it to start and even then it doesnt really wanna run.
ive talked to several mechanics at my shop and theyre convinced its a fuel issue since when it is running if I blip the throttle at idle itll bog and sometimes stall.
it seems to only happen at lower RPM if I keep it above 1000rpm its fine but as soon as Im sitting at a traffic light and go to bring the rpms up if im not extremely slow and gradual with the throttle it wants to stall. but as soon as I keep the revs up it runs fine.
I considered possibly bad gas but its been having these symptoms for a while now and jsut recently its gotten to the point I cant really safely drive my car. IM assuming its getting some fuel since it does run and the spark should be good ive checked all my connections and everythings tight and clean.
im hoping that somebody will a little more experience with the B18 has possibly seen this issue or can tell me the possible cause so I can fix it but right now I have no shop to bring it to so I cant really check the live data on a scanner and the things not throwing me any codes so thats no help either.
