16b2 miss-fire

Post by boilerskull »

Hi, I am in the UK and have a problem with my Civic, fitted with a 16b2 engine. At around 1750 rpm I suffer a miss-fire. I am told by Honda that this is a characteristic of the car, they all do it and it's ok. It's NOT! :evil:
The rolling road I tried (superchips) ran it and said it was shocking but chiping it would solve it. They then told me it is impossible to chip my particular ecu!
Please help!!! I do not want to turn this car into a drag racer, just make it as driveable as my 1966 Ford!!!!
All sensors and ancilliaries check out ok, it seems to be a mapping problem.
Is there any form of 'plug&play' device or alternative ecu i can use? I am on the wrong side of the pond for Hondata service but would welcome advice from you or anyone. I do not even know where the ecu is in my car! All sensors and ancilliaries check out ok, it seems to be a mapping problem.
All I know is that I shall have to part with what is in every other respect a great car (1.6i es civic aerodeck) if I can't solve it. :cry:

Ps the car is a December 1998 model
