Motor shaking
Car is a 99 Honda Civic with a b18b1. I noticed that spark plug wires where wrong on the distributer, but the car ran fine.
From what haynes says its
23
14
Mine set up now:
43
12
After i changed them to what haynes said it started shaking really bad. I put them back how it was before, the car idles fine and its not missing at all.
I also just installed a 4-1 header but the header doesnt line up with the cat could that be the reason for the shaking?
And no its not my motor mounts, because i just installed a brand new mounts. Not more then a month ago.
Anyones help would be appriciated.

Re: Motor shaking
no you have to make sure that you are looking at the firing sequence for a the right motor B-series and D-series firing order are NOT the same. I did the same thing with my GSR until I looked at the correct page with the B-series firing order!

Re: Motor shaking
your book must have a typo or something b/c in mine there are 2 firing orders listed one for D-series and another for B-series on different page! but oh well you got it fixed!
