D15B7 issues

- Thu Jul 29, 2010 10:54 pm #206717 So i have a '94 civic dx that ive recently replaced the head on. After that was done it had an extremely low idle to the point that it would shut off when you weren't gassing it. Eventually it got to the point where you couldnt start it by just turning the key but it could be push started. Took it in and had it looked at and apparently the clutch stop needed replacing along with a couple of relays. It ran good for a while and now it has problems starting again. I hook it up to a battery jumper and it hesitates but will start. after driving it less than a mile the idle gets extremely low and eventually it shuts off when not pushing the pedal. at that point you cant even pop the clutch it has to be jumped off. The battery has tested good. Does this ring any bells?

- Thu Jul 29, 2010 11:14 pm #206719 atm im having a similar problem, not as serious as what you've got and i didnt change the head on mine, but i'd take a wild guess at it bein the dizzy cap, spark plugs or ht leads. If their all stock that would be my guess and i would replace the dizzy cap first and see if that solves it as thats what my problem is. but if there not stock then i wouldnt have a clue :). Let me know how it goes mate

Also could be your dizzy cap if it has a crack in it. check your plugs too. and the rotor. change the cap and rotor first see if it helps. it's the cheapest to do.
