My son accidentally backed into the Civic with our Jeep Wagoneer (no contest...). He smashed in the headlight bucket, bent up the nose piece above the bumper and warped the hood a bit. Anyone have these type of parts around they want to sell? I'm in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.

My 86 Civic Si is running poorly under a load. If you keep it revved at 3500 + it'll run with a load on it. So, doing 60 in 3rd gear is possible. Shift to 4th or 5th and it feels like it's running on 1 or 2 cylinders and forces me to shift back down again.

Earlier in the summer I had a similar thing happen (occasionally) when the car was re-warming up - like if I drove to work (70 miles), parked for the day and then started my commute home. About the time that the temp would get to where the engine was half-way to operating temp it would chug and buck. If I shifted down and gave it the berries it would sputter a bit and then break free. After that I was fine for the rest of the commute.

Now, though, it's happening all the time. I can't get any power at all. It idles fine.

About this time last year I had to replace the ECU because the car flooded. They also had to replace the MAP sensor. They could only find a used one, so I don't know how good that was... But it would run fine 99% of the time.

I do have the 'surging-at-idle' problem too when the car first gets running after cooling down. I've heard that's a temp sensor of some sort, or a sticky throttle position sensor... Not sure which.

Adding insult to injury, the floorboard on the drivers' side has been getting wet. The whole car smells like a locker room and the humidity is pretty high inside the cabin. Not sure if that's contributing. I'm letting the rig idle in my driveway right now with the heater on full blast.

Any help or tips are appreciated.

I've got an 86 Civic Si that the floorboards keep filling up in. It's mainly the rear, but I notice the driver's side front is getting wet too.

I took apart the rear panels and found the drain lines for the sun roof were clogged at the back corners near the tail lights. I cleaned them out in hopes that would fix it but, it didn't. It minimized the flow of rainwater coming in but not completely. After an evening of rain (Pacific Northwest style) there is about a 1/4" of water on the floor behind the driver's seat.

Is there another set of drain lines for the sunroof or something else I don't know about? Any help is appreciated. I really need to catch this before the ECU gets soaked...again...
