So for a while now when it rains or it is extremely damp outside and everything is wet my car is bogging when driving up till about 3500 rpms but as soon as i change gears it will start to bog out again... Its almost like its hesitant but i don't know what to do... I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice or if this happens to them if they could let me know whats going on and if I have to change anything or do something to help it out.... Any help would be greatly appreciated so i can solve this issue... Thanks

 

It could be the spark plugs, you might have to change them.

 

but the car starts up fine it doesn't struggle to start its just like when im driving it does it....but maybe i'll see if other people have some advice and could give me some information...i can try changing them though it might do something for the issue...thanks buddy

 

Do you have a Check engine light on?
Have you checked your air filter?
Have you tried a Fuel injector cleaner?
Take a spark plug out and look at it.
Make sure your air box isn't clogged....

 

well i clean my air filter once a week so it wouldn't be that...ummm i do have a check engine light on but i don't know what it could be cause i dont' have a reader...do you think it could be a sensor or something...any help would be good

 

When your check engine light is on, you ECU runs a default 'safe' mode so your car doesn't hurt itself, thus making your car run like shi.t. Get the code checked/cleared and your problems will go away.

Youtube has videos on checking your OBD0 computer (CEL = check engine light). If you take your negative wire off your battery for 30 seconds (or 30 minutes) it will clear your computers CEL.

Hope this helps,
Good Luck!

 

well my car is a 99 acura 1.6 el so i have an OBD2 so i don't think that would help out but does anyone know in Mississauga or Toronto area that does this

 

My bad, why don't you Youtube search for OBD2 (II) than?

YouTube - OBD2 diagnostic socket test
Sorry that link was no real help lol... But search some more, or search the forums how to do it.

PM zeeman here on the forums, he's got a shop.

Thank you sean!

 

No problem, I had it saved in my favorites.

To reset the ECU

 

Most likely have a secondary ignition fault somewhere.

Time to break out the spark tester and ohmmeter.

 

happening only when wet or damp outside usually distributor cap/cap seal, or spark plug wires. cel is most likely a misfire code
way to find out is have car running, pop hood, get water in a spray bottle a spray a little over spark plug wires and distributor, if the mist causes what looks like a little electrical short replace whats necessary. when the mist hits it its not hard to notice what it really is you'll figure it out

 

X2 Probably your distributer. Take your cap off and check the rubber seal, and the contacts for damage. Spray the inside of the cap with WD40 and put it back on. I had a 1990 integra that had the exact same problem. I had to spray it all the time until I got a new cap+seal. Aside from that check the resistance in your plug wires, maybe you have an internal break. my 92 hatch had a hesitation issue and it was just a bad wire that was arcing (which also threw a code). If you don't want to mess around with all this stuff just get the code read and see what it says and go from there! lol

 

just change the distributor cap rotor and wires problem will probably go away 95% of the time

 

If this problem only occurs when it gets wet out...sound like it's time for a tune-up!

Also, pull and clear the CEL codes.

 

uhm would the pcv valve make it too??complete tune up including the pcv valve would help thas what i did with my civc lols

 

but like the my car starts up easily but as soon as the engine is warmed up the problem doesn't happen... my car had a tune up before i bought it and that was a year ago in august

 

i had the same problem turns out one of my spark wire boot thing wasn't plugged in properly to the distibutor leaving a gap and moister probably built up in there. that fixed my problem. easiest way to check it out is just get a spray bottle with water and spray around the spark wires and distributor in the dark and you might see sparks if there's an open somewhere.
