Rough Idling on 99 Civic CX
The car only idles rough, once accelerating it's fine.
Recent replacements: tune up, thermostat, and distributor. I'm thinking about cleaning the IACV? Any other ideas? Check engine light is not on, and otherwise the car drives fine. |
Welcome to the forum ashlauren.
When did these symptoms begin? After or before you installed these parts? If after wards, I would check to make sure your timing is correct. If before, I would suggest to check the spark plugs and wires (if not done in the tune up which you stated), and clean our your IACV and let us know what happens. |
In the tune-up, the timing was checked, and all new plugs and wires.
Also, the car does not always have the rough idle, only occasionally, about once/day (I drive roughly 65 miles per day, mon-fri). |
I'm having similar problems. Once I accelerate there is no roughness. The car idles rough. I have considered replacing the distributor. I believe that it may have somethin to do with timing because it also skips sometimes when driving.. not sure. I definitely need to get a diag.

Gave you guys cleaned out your IACV? Just wondering.
