Recently my 1995 Honda Civic LX with 176k has been hesitating and wanting to stall while idling. I've replaced the plugs, wires, and distributor cap less than 30k miles ago, a new timing belt was put on about 20-25k miles ago. I also put on a new fuel filter about 25-30k miles ago. The air filter is clean, and I cleaned the throttle body a few weeks ago.

About a month ago, the engine would skip while idling in park and in drive and was very slow when accelerating. I used some of the Lucas fuel injector cleaner that goes in the gas tank. It was thick, but didn't seem to work. A few days ago I replaced all 4 fuel injectors and the power came back while accelerating and the engine idles much better in park ( just a minor bit of skipping occasionally, not as rough or as hard).

The engine still skips a little in drive while at a red light and sometimes feels like it wants to stall out. If I slip it back into park, it runs better. I was wondering if you could tell me what it could be and what else to check or do.

Check fuel pressure with a mechanical gauge, if OK, then check spark on all cylinders.

You may have a bad ign. Module. They can be checked at most autoparts stores for free.
