Sounds like it runs. Did you check the timing?

i have a 95 civic that jumped time. Well I re timed it and it has not ran correctly since now I could be off on the timing, it has no power what so ever and sounds really bad and my idle is very low. What could be wrong with it and how can I fix it?

You need a repair manual-put the engine no.1 piston on its compression/TDC and align the cam and crank sprockets-then ensure that the rotor is pointing the no.1 cap tower.

Car starting shaking into first gear but drives smooth after. Next day started losing power and shutting off while driving, starts back up fine but loses power quickly again.

Hi claudnatty,

Seems to be a problem with the ignition or fuel system

Get the spark plugs, plug wires and distributor cap and rotor checked.

If it is a fuel problem, it would normally not start after stalling. Waiting might allow you to start and that is usually caused by a faulty PGM- Fi main relay.
