I have a 98 Civic Ex.
A while back the engine light would go on and off. Stupid, I had the code read but never did anythig about it.
A short time later I noticed that the tachometer start to fluctuate (move back and forth) between rpms but the engine doesn't rev and the cars performance doesn't change. This usually happens when I am accelerating, between 3rd and 4th gears. But like I said, the engine wouldn't rev and the car would jump or move.
During this last week, whenever I am at a stop and the car is idling or if I am driving slow, as was the case this morning, the car may stall out. This morning took me several tries to get it restarted. I am reluctant to have some one look at it because I recently moved and don't have a mechanic yet.
I am not exactly sure what the deal is but I am certain all this events are related. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks.
