My friends girlfriends car is bogging/trying to cut off while trying to take off in first gear.

The car is a 98 Accord 2.3L 4 cyl. 5 speed. Just had a major tune up done, plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor button, pcv valve. It only does it when the car has been sitting for a while, and doesn't always do it. It will not do it once the car warms up.

I went to test drive it for him, and it was sitting for about 3 hours before I got there. I took off, drove normal, and everything was fine. Stopped at a stop sign, made a turn, stopped again. Went to take off, gave the car a little gas, and it just died. It didn't cut off, but wanted to. I hit the gas a few times, and the car revved up normal, and didn't have a problem after that. I could not get it to duplicate the problem again.

Any ideas? My first thought was the distributor. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

is this casey's car?

 

sure is, Charles.

 

clean out that IACV on the manifold with some degreaser the small filter thing inside could be clogged or seafoam the car

 

if you do seafoam your car do it through the pvc tubing and put your finger over the valvecover where the pcv plugs up. itll flush out most of your mani. no bs here
