a tune up for my Honda Civic 98? but it still runs funny. I've only had it for a year so I'm not sure about previous work done. I do know that it had one owner, it was traded for a new purchase. It seemed to be well taken care of.
It all started on a small road trip and the O2 sensor going out.
I had a tune up, changed the 02 sensor
Then I noticed a oil leak.
So I did the timing belt and seals and gasket.
When I got the car back it seems better... but it still dosn't purr like a kitten. It's a 5 speed and nice to drive when it's running best.
I feel like when I put my foot on the gas to accelerate quickly. Some of the power from the pistons iginiting is lost. Almost like it had too much gas given to it, and it's not getting the full energy potential from the gas.
I feel like I want to have a tighter exhaust system, or back pressure.
The engine sounds like a 6 or 8 cylinder engine when you rev up the gas, that rumble sound. I do not belive that sound should be coming from a 4 cly engine. A 4 cylinder engine is supposed to sound like
a ninja rocket, or something
generally at idol I can hear the values ticking. I want it to be perfect.
What Can I do to my Car to make it run like new????
Everything is stock, and I don't want to spend a lot of money and time on it. I'm not trying to race, just have my nice little honda an enjoyable ride.
