so turns out that the ignitor pickup in the distributor has a crack. didnt notice it on first look over but now noticed some carbon buildup. going to replace the distributor and see if that fixes the issue or at least gives me a start into fixing the issue.

took the sensor off and cleaned it, wasnt gummed up or anything that was visible. ran the motor without the sensor and plugged the hole with my finger and idle was higher but even. put sensor back in and issue continued. checked voltage at red/grn to ground was about 3.65v, wasnt able to back probe sensor so when to ecu instead, got a 2.65v. started the car and at 1000rpm the sensor was reading about 1.35v until stalling started and then voltage went to 1.9v and quite erratic. hitting throttle resulted in a 0.88v until i took my foot off the gas.
i feel like this may be the issue but throwing a map sensor at the problem without knowing forsure feels wrong. any ideas?

have learned that it is a MAP sensor on honda’s. I have also found the location which is on the top of the throttle body. i will try removing and cleaning it with throttle cleaner…

the battery was recently replaced (4 months ago) and i would think that if the alternator wasnt charging the battery would go flat?
im not entirely sure the 96 civic has a MAF, there is a sensor in the intake and i have cleaned it as part of my throttle body cleaning. I will have to research more about a MAF sensor for my motor.
IACV (apparently im dyslexic) – idle air control valve has been changed.
