hey all ..

after much tinkering with my rs dual sidedrafts, i have come to determine that it must be a mixture problem .. yes i have a fuel pressure regulator .. no vaccuum leaks (pretty much everything is disconnected and plugged tightly)and have fiddled endlessly with the balance between the idle and fuel pressure ..
yes i also have electronic ignition. (EN1 motor)

the symptoms are ..
runs great above 1500 .. no flat spots at all BUT
between idle and there it stutters .. resulting in that most annoying jolt that reminds me of learning to drive a standard ..
i'm not sure if it's leaning or choking .. because basically i have no clue, i am hoping for the sage of the board to pour forth.
thanks all

Mo, it sounds like it's choking out...on my old 1751 with the dual mikuni's it wouldn't idle under 2000 rpm, i tried a fuel pressure reg. but it wouldn't help, In the end i took it to Teen at Carline brake and Muffler in Richmond, he fixed it for me! give him a call at 604 270-0121. Tell him you have a civic and he will know you are a friend of mine!
