Hi, Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer! I bought a 98 Civic at an auction. It ran great when I got it. Broke cv joint, finally got it replaced. Now it bogs terribly if you don't baby the gas pedal. I took it to a mechanic. He said it scans as Automatic, which I kinda, new, since it has no tack. He said it would never run right because the computer still thinks it's an automatic?The car ran fantastic when I bought it tho, so I'm not sure about his "diagnosis" I just love driving this Lil car. Superfun. Reminds of my first New car 1977 Celica Gt. Compression is good, timing was set, new plugs, wires distributer, Fuel pump.. It runs OK when you finally get it up to speed, but have to downshift to 4th to keep highway speed at even the slightest uphill grade on the Highway. It backfires when u start it too, Will not Rev without backfiring till it gets completely warmed up.. Thanks
