I recently purchased this 97 civic ex. Auto 177000 miles bone stock and PO have a lot of maintance records. The car was stolen and found a couple blocks away from the POs house and was running like this.
The car started up right away but wouldn't rev over 1000 rpm and the engine would shake pretty bad.
I changed the timing belt and the car won't stay running unless I hold the key in start for 3-4 seconds. But it runs the same.
Tps and map aren't switched.
I changed out the throttle body and tested the tps.
I cleaned the throttle body and iacv.
I got new ngk plug wires
I changed the timing belt
I tested the icm and had battery voltage on the black/yellow and white/blue but only had 6.15 volts on the yellow/green wire.
I've read that wire should have 10 volts.
Could the wiring under the dash affect the distributor wiring.
Anything would help ha I'm lost
