96 Honda Civic...Misfire code

what is the code? check the owners manual for how to read it or go to tegger.com for details.

-==============================

Your manual says you should be in fourth gear. You'd be amazed at how high they say you can go in each gear. You're lugging it.

It could possibly be a dirty injector or the fuel filter (or the driving method).

Use injector cleaner three or four times a year.

On hills, I always operate in the upper range of the gears. I am not sure about other Hondas, but the 06 Si has all the torque between 6000 and 8000 RPM's, so the car just does the climb much better up there.

Very good advice.

Posting from the USA.

My local COSTCO has stopped carrying Chevron's Techron injector cleaner. What do you regulars think of STP's Concentrated Injector Cleaner. I can get it at BJ's.

Thanks.

For future ref.

After looking further into the fireing system I found voltage discharge burns on the coil.... Once I replaced it the car ran fine

Thanks for the help and comments
