GOOD NEWS!!!!! car is fixed YAYYYYYYYYYYY

took it to another mechanic that did it less then 2 hrs and was explaining and showing me things that the other mechanic fukced up on!!!!

1.He showed me the line for the cruise control was disconnected!!!

2. the spark plugs were not in proper order!!!!

3. the IACV wiring was hacked so he had to re-wire the 2 wires together!!!

all i had to do was get new spark plugs and wiring done

and she runs like new.....idle is great and YES the CEL is still on becuz of the knock sensor so im going to leave it up to the new owner of my car if they want for an extra $300 to convert to obd1 or not

thnx all for your comments and suggestions....now i can focus on my other civics hehe

and, spark plugs wernt in order? ...if i went and bought 4, and put them in, do they have to be in specific order? :P

or, do you mean spark plug wires. in which case, firing order would be wrong..how did it start anyway?!?!? wtf

even spark plug wires (mine anyway) are dif lengths so you cant put cyl 4 to where cyl 2 is...

unless he reversed them on the dizzy

in which case...how did it fire up?!?!?!?!
