98 civic DX idle bog Ok so I dont use forums all that much so if i missed the topic on this i apologize. So heres the problem, I swapped a blown engine out of my 1998 Civic DX (coup) and had to use a 97 wire harness. It started up all fine but after about 3 minutes of running it bogs out while idling. I havent put it on the road yet so I couldnt tell you if it bogs while driving. If you can imagine it sounds like .... " vroooooooooooom blaahh vrooooooooooooooooom blahh " over and over, . I havent done timing on it even though I did have to change distributors but i assumed timing wouldnt make it bog like that. Someone mentioned an airlock in my cooling system but i tinkered with that and didnt seem to help. Does anyone have suggestions as to where I should go with this? Also it does idle a little high to the point where no gas pedal is needed to take off (Manual). Im not sure what else can cause this besides a sensor of sorts so ill mention a few things: Has catback exhaust Cold-air intake swapped engine has only 127,000km I would appreciate any help. |
Re: 98 civic DX idle bog sounds like .... " vroooooooooooom blaahh vrooooooooooooooooom blahh " over and over, Check for vacuum leaks, IAC stuck open, low coolant level. |
