well anyone got any ideas about looking for what wrong or where to look on my accord
buy a weber and that'll solve all your problems bro...honestly though, you should've picked up a FI'd third gen, carb'd motors are a pain if it's your first car learning the trade of auto mechanics on

why no weber in cali? and what about seafoam im up to try anything right now i herd it works but where to buy?yeah i wanted to recommend a weber but hes in cali so thats a big no
um its not smog legal in ca
of course nothing is here in cali?
what about seafoam?
i'm just about 100% positive you can do the fuel filter without removing the tire. Just jack up the car by the jack point just ahead of the rear tire on the rocker and crawl under there and get this done. Either that or if you have a set of ramps, just back up onto the ramps and get under there and get to work.
Take a vid of this popping and post it up. I'm still not convinced it's not the ignition.
Yes, the plugs should still be gapped properly. Just because they are the ones that 'fit' our cars does not mean that they are gapped properly right out of the box. Just be careful because some specifically say not to gap.
So you replaced the plugs, and wires then? What about the cap and rotor?
Don't screw around with that carb just yet. Once you tinker with it, you'll have a bitch of a time getting it back in tune. Where the hell is roodoo or Mikey, they both know these carbs real well. I only know how to yank them out of the car and rebuild them, but can't tune them for shit honestly.

well its getting dark here and this would be my first time working under a jacked up car idk why but im nervous.
ok ill take a vid of it idk if you guys will here it or not. so the v-powers that i got need to be gapped then??? i have never gapped any of mine
no i have not i dont kno how to do the cap and rotor i havent check it i think.
please don't fog the motor (seafoam). ...at least not yet.

ok i wont im just reading things on here and getting ideas trying to see whats up with it.
if you're nervous about getting under the car, then just back it up onto some ramps and chock the front wheels, and you're golden. That confidence will come in time.
Dunno if the v-powers should be gapped, check the box they came in, it'll tell you right on it.
The cap and rotor are very easy to swap. All of the wires plug onto the distributor cap. There's two small phillips head bolts/screws holding the cap on (sometimes they're swapped out with 1/4" hex heads). Shoot those with PB Blaster as they like to get seized up, and if you snap one in the dizzy (distributor) housing, it's a bitch to get them out, then let them sit for a few hours after you soak them in PB. Then back the bolts/screws off, and you'll see the points inside the cap, as well as the rotor. The rotor just pulls off (there might be a small bolt holding that on, but I don't remember right now). Either way, both are very easy to swap out.
Honestly, I'm still thinking that popping might just be either bad fuel delivery (fuel filter) your firing order is fooked because your wires are not on right. Have someone who's done it before, look at the wires and make sure you've got them on in the right order and they're securely pushed onto spark plug ends.

my V-powers had .44 PRE GAP on the box written in magic marker. i checked them and they were all hella off so i re gapped them all

ok i went to the back of the car and i wanted to see if i could here the popping coming out of the exhaust and i can idk if that makes any differences and what the hell is the firing ordering from the distributer to the plugs....
the back say always set the manufacturs specs???? so i put them in with out being gapped could this be the whole problem?
it might be part of the problem shouldn't cause it backfire though unless there hella off..
i would definitely check the firing order there is a pic posted of it somewhere on here i will try to find it .
also check the timing on it.

i doubt the gapping is the whole problem, but it's certainly not helping if they're gapped wrong. The firing order is determined by the distributor, which is translated to the spark plugs by way of the wires.
ok, check out this thread: https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthrea...t=firing+order
there's a pic on there that you should follow, but take time to read through it. Roodoo does put it in terms that make sense.
Edit: I'm working on boat upholstery right now (10:41) (and it's work I take on the side to fund the 3G project) but keep dragging myself away to check this thread. ...I'll keep checking it as I've been though.... I think we're getting somewhere now too.
