So I have a 91 civic dx that I just had the engine swapped out. I got the car back in july and since I have had it I have had what sounds like a misfiring problem when its sitting idle and it has just gotten worse. The check engine light started coming on after I drove it for an average of 2 miles. In the last week or so it has gotten so bad that it shakes badly sounds like its getting ready to cut out. Then it wouldnt start so I jumped it and then it wouldnt go over 45 mph and wouldnt start again after I shut it off. I changed the spark plugs and wires and it seemed to fix the not being able to go X mph for like 12 hours but the check engine light still came on. Then my lights started flickering which is a sign the alternator isnt working right so I take it out and go to get a new one and they test it and say that its just fine. Im not sure what I need to look at next but I am losing my patience very quickly for this damn car.
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
