1997 accord 2.2 a/t idles rough but drives smooth
Common Causes and Troubleshooting Steps:
- Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils: Start by checking the spark plugs and ignition coils for wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace them if necessary.
- Distributor (if applicable): If your Honda has a distributor, the ignitor module inside might be faulty. Inspect and potentially replace it.
- Valve Adjustment: Older Honda engines, especially those with overhead valves, may need a valve adjustment. If the valves are not properly adjusted, it can cause misfires.
- Cylinder Compression: Low cylinder compression can also cause misfires. A compression test can help determine if there are issues with the pistons, rings, or cylinder head.
- Timing Belt/Chain: Check the timing belt or chain for proper alignment. If it's off, it can lead to misfires.
- Fuel Injectors: Faulty fuel injectors can also cause misfires.
