Fun morning so far! EG Civic content

So, the econobox has finally started to throw some problems at me.

It has always had a small vibration since I put the Team Dynamics on it because one of the wheels is slightly out-of-round. It was semi-cured with wheel weights, but it has suddenly become a VIOLENT vibration now. I looked to see if it slung all the wheel weights off (can't imagine it would since I use metal tape for them), and they're still there. I am assuming a wheel bearing or tie rod end has bit the dust.

Then, after I got my coffee from the Gasolina station, getting on the highway, a partial throttle misfire had developed. It sounds like if you were to have a pit speed limiter and gave it full throttle, that high speed mis sound. If you slowly apply more throttle, it won't show it's ugly head. I am assuming it's the cap and rotor/plug wire/plugs need to be changed.

Fun morning so far!

Ugh. I hate it when it all happens at the same time. Here's hoping it'll be the simple stuff. I've noticed my 90's civics/integras seem to need pretty fresh ignition stuff to run smoothly though. I managed to cure some weird behavior on the GSR by just changing out the plug wires. Other cars I've had seem fine on much higher mileage sparky wear items. Dunno, that's my dubious-at-best anecdote for the day.

I had something similar happen in my EK civic with violent vibrations/tugging feeling at the steering wheel. Turns out that the passenger side axle was toast and had a lot of play in it. Swapped in a new one and problem solved.

Thanks guys! I'll be taking a look at the axle today at lunch. Plug wires are $30 for the set, easy so far!
