91 Civic runs poorly in low gears

New brakes, then poor performance??? Maybe the brakes are dragging. Take a short moderate drive and see if any wheels are hot. Dan

Like Dan Beat> The

Define "badly".

Low power? Stumbling and hesitation? Stalling? Rough, jerky operation?

Is it an automatic?

It's a 5/8" socket. Get a flashlight and look down the tube.

The distributor comtains the coil and igniter, as well as all three Hall- Effect sensors used by the ECU.

That's because the '91 is not OBD-II. You check for error codes by watching either the red light on the ECU, or the Check Engine light, I forget which.

Like chris said.

If you have an automatic, it's under the EGR box on the firewall.

The fuel filter is located on the firewall. Passenger side.
