Changed out my sparkplugs this afternoon and one of them looked a bit burnt on the upper (white) side. Anyone knows if this means anything? Should I be worried?

Distributor cap contacts are corroded and also worn, cleaned them and going to order a new cap and rotor to be sure. I want to check ignition timing but don't have a timing gun, I'll ask arround if I can borrow one

ECU reset does not seem to have solved the rattling sound. I just remembered when getting the car a while back I put new (twin) spark plugs in it. Could it be that this engine doesn't respond well to that kind of spark plug?

After ecu reset start engine with airco on? Thanks for your help!

I will do the ecu reset tomorrow and if it doesnt help the belt /pump check at home. The rattle does not seem to be affected by the airco turned on or off, thank you for the help so far.

99 civic mb3 Dear civic enthousiasts, Since a few days after using my airco alot, the engine is influenced much more by the use of airco the normaly. When driving with airco the engine constantly holds back and goes, holds back and goes. When idle the engine has much trouble not to stall. When the airco is turned off none of these problems occur. The airco was serviced a few weeks ago. I hope someone can help out.

Hello civic owners, I have two problems which I hope you can help with. The first problem is when accelarating uphill there comes a rattling sound from the engine. It s only uphill because when driving down hill or straight everything is ok. I noticed this in holland a while back but now on vacation in Italy with all the hills i am a bit worried. Fluids are all ok and the heat shield also. I hope someone can help!
