Rough idle, can't tell what's causing it?
First off I drive a 1997 Honda Civic EX sedan with 171k miles on it. When I turn on the car, the idle is pretty rough and makes the car shake a bit. When I switch on the A/C it just makes it worse. When I'm driving on a hot day it's strange aswell. When I give it gas (like when the light turns green) the RPM needles bounces a lot as it's increasing. Either that or it takes forever for the car to pick up speed. I googled it a bunch of times and I got too many what ifs. I figured I come here and tell what exactly going on. Anyways thanks in advance!
IT is from YOUR OIL CHOICES! Take $20-40 to ANY oil change center and have your THROTTLE BODY and IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE cleaned up to showroom floor CLEAN! Stop using cheap oil in it like VALVOLINE which is a WAX BASED sludge and tar maker over time! The use of ENEOS or MOBIL ONE 0W-30 will prevent more issues on this car! POWER WASH engine with GUNK ORANGE to remove any ROAD SALT and LEAKING FLUID from wiring.BTW, you do NOT even have a "GAS" pedal at all! ONLY AN 'AIR": pedal! The IAC adds MORE air to make the converter and O2 sensors HAPPY! FUEL is metered and injected elsewhere downstream! YOUR ENGINE is starving for AIR< not gas! Get the IAC and T body cleaned to SHOWROOM and your issue will just DISAPPEAR! Use either BOSCH or DENSO iridium plugs to get up to 15% more power and economy, EASIER starts and LOWER emissions! Iridium NOW reacts with our new LOW SULFUR FUELS! YOu will see! BYE NOW!
Check plugs.

- I put 87 octane gas in my bike, can I use octane boost to correct the problems it's causing my bike? Last night I put 87 octane in my 2008 Honda Shadow 750. It started sputtering and stalled out on me twice last night. Can I use octane boost to make it run cleaner and better. Will that help fix the stalling problem as I have always run 93 octane and never had any problems?
- How can I tell if a post on eBay is a scam? I heard there are a lot of scammers on eBay. Do you think this seller is real or fake? I can't tell. http://www.ebay.com/...2003028892
- What can be causing this noise in my car? I have a 2008 honda civic si, when i make sharp turns at a decent speed i hear a noise of metal that seems to be grinding. Sometimes while I'm just cruising i hear it as well, and it SOUNDS as if its coming from the wheels, not the engine. Also, one time, there was a HORRIBLE noise that came from my right tire that sounded like metal was making FULL contact with my break disc, but my breaks are still good. Any idea what this could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
