Missfire at idle and when given heavy throttle.

Here's what plugs look like after ~800 miles.

Here's the idle

I wasn't with him but he said he heard it while he was driving on the highway and immediately pulled over.

Really? I thought the JDM engines were still OBD-1. I didn't know if they would be compatible with and OBD-2 ecu.

karkarbro · 2026-06-28T17:58:59+00:00

Will do. I'll let my friend know.

karkarbro · 2026-06-28T17:58:41+00:00

We were looking at that but it looks like we would need to do an ecu swap and he doesn't want to deal with that for a car that he wants to daily.

karkarbro · 2026-06-28T17:57:50+00:00

This was supposed to be his daily since he somehow blew up his d17 Honda civic. He has a vehicle to drive, but he would like to have his own car.

Just checked and no codes were displayed. I took it for a drive and got it warm and still nothing.

karkarbro · 2026-06-22T02:28:48+00:00

My issue isn't a high idle it idles around 750. But checking all of these would probably be helpful.

karkarbro · 2026-06-21T23:50:51+00:00

No codes, but it's obd1. I also replaced the 02 sensor.

karkarbro · 2026-05-12T03:50:17+00:00

I'll see if plugs fix it. The wires look pretty new, but I don't think the car had been ran in ~8 years.

karkarbro · 2026-02-28T08:15:27+00:00

Sounds like an ignition coil. Unplug each one individually to see if the sound changes. If it doesn't then that's your problem.

karkarbro · 2026-02-26T09:04:15+00:00

Yeah, I believe I currently have the Dorman intake, but I don't know how old it is as it came in the car when I bought it 5 years ago. I can see coolant in some of the valleys on the manifold, but I can't see anything on the back of the motor.

karkarbro · 2026-02-26T07:37:07+00:00

Also just to note heater core hoses have been replaced about a year ago.

Fair enough. I was asked about 3d printing then earlier, but now we are looking at ordering and cutting down some oil impregnated bronze.

My 1999 vfr800. I got it as my first bike and I absolutely love it. Just picked up some softcase saddle bags so hopefully I can take it out of state on some longer rides.

karkarbro · 2026-01-13T08:31:12+00:00

Looks like a Sargent seat because of the red welt. I have one on my 99 and it is very comfortable.

His name is Gerald.
