  • misfire codes...help!

    my 98 civic hx is giving out these codes:
    p0300 random misfire
    p0301 misfire 1st
    p0303 misfire 3rd
    p0304 misfire 4th

    about two months ago my check engine came on and i scanned it at autozone...those codes were the ones that came up. did new plugs and wires and the light went off for about a day. ..its been on ever since for about a month, so i had the cap and rotor replaced as well. light was off for about a day and went back on...been on for a week..the car does seem to make this somewhat kind of gargling noise/feeling lol when im cruising at like 20 mph... after plugs, wires, cap and rotor are replaced, what would be next?? suggestions please for a girl that needs to drive to school and work like everyday! thanks!

            is it misfires or random misfires? random misfires could be a number of things. but Id try a new dizzy first or maybe try one off of a friends car and start from there.

            could be faulty injectors also.

                id try to look a tthe injectors. I had the same problem on my 99 gsr and i changed everything from fuel filter, dizzy wires plugs. code went away for a day and came back. So i read up on it and found out it could also be the injectors. So i had people who had spare inejctors and i tried them and it was the injectors. I actually went through like 2 sets of injectors. after the second set of injectors everything was good.

                        Damn that things fresh. But yea sounds like distributor. Put a wtb thread maybe you can get it cheaper. I know they are a lot at AZ and Advance.

                            Pull your injectors and test them but I really think it's your dizzy, and you can probably find one here on the cheep. HX's have a y7, correct? I am betting someone doing a z6 swap or mini me will hook ya up. Try hitting up jdm 809 and the wtb thread.
