Hi, I have a 96 Honda Accord EX with a severe misfire problem under light throttle. I have replaced cap, rotor, wires and plugs but its still there. What could be causing this problem.

Thanks

 

maybe incorrect ignition timing??

 

Timing is correct. I think it is maybe in the distributor.

 

probably..im thinking of your ICU(ignition control module) but im not really sure..but just w8 till the others here give there thoughts....

 

Ok lol, yeah ive never really messed with a distirbutor before im into coil packs and DSM's. It is my girlfriends parents beater and I drive it every now and then to save on gas.

 

Little update.

If I try and beat the crap out of the car it will make the misfire go away all together till I turn it off again. I can just turn the key off for a second and turn it back on and the misfiring will come right back.

 

Coil has been problematic more frequently that ignitor in my experience. I would also check all engine compressions to make sure you have good compression on all cylinders.

good luck
