I have a 97 honda civic dx, the car overheated but the problems were all fix, the machine shop check the cylinder head over, no cracks, replaced valve, ect. The car hasn't run for 6 months and I finally got it back together and started. 6 months ago when it ran is was very quiet (you could barely tell it was running). Now its very loud, I've check the timing a couple times an it looks right, but there is a lot of given from TDC to the timing gear to line up, so I've considered it being off by a notch or two. Now I tried to take it for a small ride today and in reverse the car sounds like it wants to stall out. But now just in neutral the idle fluxuates up and down to the point of almost stalling. I played with the distributor trying to get it to run smoother which it did a little, but not much. I had a MIL code of p0135 heat oxygen sensor, but never fix one before. What do you think the problem(s) are. Thanks Josh
