- Thu Aug 20, 2009 1:04 pm #138932 okay so my sister just bought this 95 civic. it had been sitting for a bit and when we went for a ride in it, it sorta chugged when it idled and took off. then once you hammer on it it would be fine. but when you stop the whole car would shake pretty bad!
i just thought that it had to be broken in from sitting but when she drove it home that wasnt the case?
she also says it looses power up hills??
it auto aswell

does anyone have a diagnosis?
or any idea what to do?....
he said he did a new cap, rotor and wires before, maybe its the plugs?
whats should i do?

thanks for your time
