I need help. I have a 1992 honda that has a jummpy tach, stalls out when excelerating but runs fine when you back off the gas. If you floor it it over fules and back fires. I have already done some things here is a list.
1.changed coil twice
2.changed dizzy twice
3.changed main relay
4.changed ecm
5.replaced grounds
6.removed pluged cat
I'm planing on changing the tps and testing the charcoal canister next.
I need some new info I'm getting stumped.

Does the check engine light or the S or D4 light start flashing when driving?

Have you checked for any code(s) stored in the ECU or TCU? Get a piece of wire or a thin paperclip to short a blue two-pin connector.

Copy and paste this into your web browser to see the procedure to get the codes: techauto.awardspace.com/dtc.html

Did you change the spark plugs? New distributor cap and rotor? Spark plug wires (I like NGKs or the honda ones)?

The trany is a standard dose that still matter. It still does it with the ECM that came with the car. The guy I bought the car from did the work he did an engine swap. 11/1990 engine into a 1992. The tach is moving with the throtle now and the car is sputtring like the timing belt is out a tooth or two.

do you mean ECU? cus I was thinking TCU the tranny computer. But since your 5speed you dont have a TCU in your car just the ECU.
