OT, help with Honda hesitation problems

[Guest Anonymous]

my '92 Civic ex(automatic) has recently developed severe hesitation/stumbling problems from idle up to 3K RPM. It also likes to stall at stoplights. I've changed 02 sensor, MAP sensor, plugs, wires, cap, rotor. My next thought is the Throttle Position Sensor. Has anyone ever had a problem like this?

Honduhs are designed to be filled with gasoline in the passenger compartment and set on fire. be sure nobody is in the car at the time. this will end your hesitation problems... ;p

I saw that car at the junkyard! (though I didn't see any non-wrecked Hondas (or BMW's for that matter (what, you got a problem with nested parentheticals?!)))

the ignition switches in those vehicles are failing in droves. It's not uncommon for one to experience the symptoms you describe as the switch deteriorates. Try turning the key forward slightly (not so far as to engage the starter) as the problem occurs and see what happens.

is your CEL on? if so, have you checked the code?

First thought is a vacuum leaks of some kind, but those early Hondas have HUGE problems with the coil packs in the distributor. Usually they just go completely out and the car won't run (won't start), but I thought I'd mention it just in case they fail differently.
