Dear Auto Experts,
I sincerely need your help. I have a Honda Rover 623 Series model. I changed the engine after showing a low engine performance with a Honda V-tec H23A model engine in January,2012. Since then the sound and the engine performance has being better than the former engine.
But i notice few issues:
1. After the first early morning warming, if i am dressed for work, when i start the engine again, i notice jerking showing low engine performance. But improves as i accelerate.

2. Then, when i get to my place of work and park, if am to go out in the next 20minutes to 2hours the car will prove stubborn before starting. Not even with 2 or 3 starts.

3. The check engine light has being on since the swap or changing of the new engine.
Although the engine still drops water during early morning warming. Please i will appreciate any kind professional approach to my questions. Thanks

You probably have a bad distributor.. It supplies electricity to the plugs and also controls the ignition of d car.. I'll also advice u get the car scanned for error codes.. Also have a look @ the maf sensor(mass airflow sensor).. If it's dirty the engine will sputter and there will be bad idling. So hav it cleaned if it's dirty. Goodluck

Thanks I sincerely appreciate,God bless you.
