i have a 94 civic ex and the other day it randomly started to bogg down and sputter so i replaced the map sensor and i noticed a minor difference, but im still having sputtering problems and slight bogg down. Could it be that i need to replace the o2 sensor too, theres no unusual sounds from the motor, and it only boggs when i try to give it gas.

run some $2 injector cleaner through it, clean your air filter, reset the computer by unplugging the battery and turning on the headlights (drains residual charge) and wait before reconnecting and letting it idle for a bit.

do the cheap stuff first before you start randomly replacing parts.

It would be a good idea to test the TPS also. Notice I said "test", not "replace"...

Yep.

what is the tps, and do i disconnect both battery terminals and turn the lights on?

and while the car was running i tryed disconnecting and reconnecting the o2 sensor and nothing happenned, so that means its either dirty/clogged or its bad right?

throttle position sensor.
yes.
no.



run the injector cleaner through at least a half tank of fuel, first.

My advice is to take it to a shop or mechanic.
