well i fixed why my car idle was idling funny ... i ripped the vtech controller out. word of advice if u have a shop put yer vtech controller on make sure they solder the whole thing or tape it good.. cause its prolly why something is messed wit my car now.

i replaced the plugs,wires, cap , an rotor,battery terminals (stockhonda terminals suck) and it still will occasionally missfire.

did u adjust the timing ? it sounds to me like an ignition timing problem. i think the stock setting is 14 degrees of advance.

I had backfiring problems in tandem with a big power loss. check the timing, mine was off by a tooth.
