ok if you're reading this, your civic is stalling.

i have a 1991 honda civic dx and i tried everything to fix the stalling problem. new head gasket, new alternator, new idle air control valve, new main relay and guess what...no difference. brace yourselves peeps because ive found the problem and it is distributor rotor. the part costs about $15 and is fairly simple to replace. upon seeing it you could tell it was the problem. the rotor was worn down and had a crack in it causing it to not fire properly. after replacing it shes been running like a champ. peeps i hope this helps in some way because it caused me nothing but stress and cash.

good luck everyone

.......cause thats how i roll
